About Jessica

Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, stress, anxiety, and a broad range of related concerns including grief, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her training includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Jungian Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, which she draws on to tailor care to each person's needs. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that begins with listening and building on an individual’s strengths.

Jessica emphasizes practical tools alongside explorations of meaning and identity, aiming to strengthen coping skills while attending to patterns that contribute to distress. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, body image, gender dysphoria, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and other focused areas noted in her work.

Clients who choose her can expect a clinician who values bravery and self-exploration, offering support to highlight existing resources and to develop new strategies for growth and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and build practical skills, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes values-based action and acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, supporting people to pursue meaningful goals even while experiencing discomfort.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so treatment stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful and doable.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Maine without needing to travel, and allow sessions to focus on skill-building, processing, and goal planning in ways that suit each person's life and routine.
