About Jessica
Jessica Senecal-Bennett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years in the mental health field. She practices from Massachusetts and offers support for common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Her background includes supporting people through grief, separation, domestic violence, and caregiver stress.
Her approach is grounded and practical. She draws on client-centered methods and evidence-based techniques to create clear steps forward. Sessions often include skill-building, problem solving, and ways to manage symptoms in daily life.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps clarify goals and next steps, which is helpful for people facing relationship or life-change stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and attachment needs in close relationships, helping people notice emotional patterns and try new ways of relating.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss what feels most useful based on the client's concerns, goals, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, emotion-focused conversation, or short-term problem solving.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals use these formats to help people apply what they learn in real life and maintain progress between meetings.
