About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and life changes. Jessica also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at reducing immediate distress while building skills for the longer term.
Jessica uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools to help clients clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns that often underlie repeated relationship struggles. Work can include communication skills, boundary-setting, and coping plans for times of crisis.
She has supported people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric issues, and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters. Jessica also addresses patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, and avoidance that keep people stuck.
Sessions are practical and task-oriented when needed, and reflective when that better serves progress. The focus is on usable strategies clients can apply between meetings and clearer decision-making about relationships, work, and parenting.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jessica commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, helping people speak through difficulties and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and practicing different ways of responding to reduce symptoms.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-related distress when it fits the client's situation. EMDR helps process upsetting memories and reduce the emotional intensity attached to them, which can be useful for people coping with abuse or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match the client's goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients can expect to make decisions together about which techniques to try and when to change course.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also suggest practical homework and tools that fit into everyday life so gains carry over between appointments.
