About Gessica

Gessica Yearwood is a Florida-licensed LMHC who draws on client-centered principles combined with evidence-informed methods to support people managing attention, mood, and stress-related concerns. She frames therapy around respect, sensitivity, and collaboration, shaping sessions and treatment plans to align with each person's priorities.

Background and approach

Her practice focuses on areas such as ADHD-related concentration and memory challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting stress, anger, and relationship struggles. With six years of professional experience, she also addresses related concerns like phobias, social anxiety, forgiveness work, self-love, and issues common to young adults.

She uses a flexible mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-based approaches to help clients challenge unhelpful patterns and build practical coping strategies. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are employed when clients want to clarify goals and take actionable steps toward change.

Gessica emphasizes a supportive, empowering stance that recognizes the courage involved in seeking change. Prospective clients can expect a tailored therapeutic process aimed at fostering greater confidence, focus, and emotional balance while honoring each person's unique circumstances and goals.

Approach-driven online therapy for attention and emotional challenges

Gessica combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques to create a collaborative, practical online therapy experience. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and tailoring conversations to what matters most to the client, which helps build trust and clarify personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for problems like anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and attention-related struggles.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete tools to manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Determining which approaches to use is treated as a collaborative process: the therapist and client explore needs, preferences, and goals together and adjust techniques as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide scheduling flexibility and several ways to stay connected between appointments. These remote options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Florida, and access consistent support while working toward clearer focus, improved coping skills, and better emotional balance.
