About Jessica

Dr. Jessica Dennis centers her practice on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage stress, anxiety, career challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over a decade of clinical experience, she combines practical coaching skills with therapeutic care to address issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also includes support for ADHD and concerns related to discrimination and multicultural dynamics.

Dr. Dennis creates a nonjudgmental, conversational setting where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop concrete coping strategies.

She often integrates career-focused coaching and executive support alongside traditional therapy to help clients navigate professional setbacks and growth. While many appointments take place in the evenings, she is willing to arrange scheduled live chat sessions earlier in the day by request.

Therapy with Dr. Dennis is offered through messaging formats at this time; prospective clients are encouraged to recognize the courage it takes to begin and to use the Start Therapy process to find a good match.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support



Dr. Dennis draws on well-supported therapeutic methods that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches help people identify and reframe patterns of worry or negative self-talk, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skill-based interventions such as coaching-informed techniques emphasize problem solving, goal setting, and stress management to support career transitions, compassion fatigue, and everyday coping.

The right combination of approaches often emerges through collaboration. She works together with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so they fit each person’s priorities and lifestyle. This collaborative process helps determine whether cognitive strategies, coaching elements, or other evidence-based practices will best support progress.

Online options include live chat messaging as the primary format, and the practice can accommodate phone or video sessions in other circumstances when available. These remote formats make it easier to schedule sessions in the evenings or arrange shorter, focused check-ins. Overall, the online setting offers flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments while pursuing therapeutic work.
