About Jessica
Jessica Saxton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and depression. She works with adults who are navigating difficult transitions and intense emotional challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness methods to teach grounding skills and on motivational interviewing to support difficult changes. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term, achievable goals.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect clear tools for managing symptoms, brief experiments between sessions, and check-ins on progress. The focus is on what works in everyday life - at home, at work, or during medical and caregiving demands.
Jessica adapts her style to each person’s pace. She pays attention to life context such as work stress, caregiving roles, chronic illness, and the toll of repeated loss. The plan evolves as needs change, with practical steps to reduce distress and improve functioning.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jessica uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different responses. CBT in online sessions often includes simple homework, thought records, and brief behavior experiments that fit into daily life.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises are easy to practice between sessions and can be reviewed together during an online meeting. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck; it focuses on exploring ambivalence and finding internal reasons to change.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will review goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The focus is on practical steps and measurable progress rather than on labels.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, medical appointments, or travel. They can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce commute time, and make consistent weekly work more practical for people with busy or changing lives.
