About Jessica

Jessica Grayer-Brumfield is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LISW) who draws on a decade of experience to help people navigate stress, grief, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes an individualized, collaborative approach that centers the client's goals and pace while offering practical tools and emotional support. Clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, or career and parenting challenges can expect a thoughtful mix of evidence-informed methods and empathic listening.

Jessica frames therapy as a skill-building process that asks for patience and active participation. She partners with clients to identify strengths, address coping skills, and create realistic steps toward change.

Her work also attends to issues such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, postpartum mood changes, and experiences of discrimination or isolation. Based in Illinois, she brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence and professional social work training to guide clients through difficult transitions and toward greater balance and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when working with people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide the work; it is helpful for building self-awareness and trust. CBT offers practical tools for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan over time so the work feels useful and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow scheduling around work and family life, support consistent check-ins, and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while working toward meaningful change.
