About Jessica

Jessica Benash is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 18 years of clinical experience across residential, day treatment, and outpatient settings, she draws on a broad practice history that includes supporting caregivers, survivors of trauma and abuse, people grieving suicide loss, and those facing chronic illness or chronic pain. Her therapeutic stance is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and compassion.

Jessica blends client-centered and solution-focused methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify strengths, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and work toward practical goals. She emphasizes meeting clients where they are, building a positive working relationship, and tailoring strategies to each person’s needs.

In addition to clinical practice, she teaches in a social work department as an adjunct professor, bringing both classroom and hands-on experience to her work. Jessica frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients through life transitions, grief, intimacy and anger concerns, career questions, and a variety of relationship and emotional issues.

Approaches That Guide Online Work



Jessica frequently uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are, helping clients explore values and personal strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies and challenges unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering structured tools for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and behavior changes.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjusts methods over time if needed so the work remains responsive to the person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints, and allow clients to access therapy from their own setting while using the therapeutic approaches above in practical, goal-oriented ways.
