About Jessica
Jessica VanBuren Curtis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky and Indiana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults moving through grief, loss, and life changes, including people supporting someone at the end of life. Her practice focuses on practical coping and clearer thinking during hard transitions.
Jessica invites straightforward conversations about what feels heavy or confusing. She helps people name their emotions, sort priorities, and find small steps that make daily life more manageable. Sessions aim to be plainspoken and focused on what helps in real life, not on jargon.
Her background includes long experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses broader topics such as life purpose, self-love, and women's issues. That range means she can link immediate coping techniques to longer term planning and values.
In sessions, the emphasis is on building practical tools that fit a person’s routine. Jessica supports people in testing new ways of handling routines, relationships, and responsibilities. Over time the work is intended to reduce overwhelming decisions and increase steady routines that feel doable.
People who reach out can expect a direct, steady approach that prioritizes clear steps and everyday problem solving. Jessica explains options, listens for what matters most, and helps people practice responses they can use between meetings.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on coping skills and meaning-making. One approach involves practical skill-building to manage intense emotions and daily tasks; this helps people with grief, chronic illness, and caregiving strain learn concrete ways to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on life review and values clarification to help people facing end-of-life issues or major transitions identify what matters and make clearer decisions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust if something does not fit. The work is framed around what the client needs most in their day-to-day life and what feels useful between sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, handle caregiving or health appointments, or check in without a long commute. Remote work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only meetings when bandwidth is low. Ask about available formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs.
