Jessica Hackett-Smith, LPC

Evidence-Based Strategies Delivered Online

Jessica often integrates behavior-focused approaches that target observable routines and skills. Behavior modification and functional behavior assessment techniques involve identifying patterns that maintain stress or disruptive habits and teaching concrete steps to change them; these methods can help with ADHD-related challenges, parenting concerns, and improving daily functioning.

She also uses skill-building interventions that focus on communication, emotion regulation, and coping strategies. These techniques teach practical tools for managing anxiety, grief, and trauma-related symptoms, helping clients practice new responses in everyday situations.

Choosing the right approach happens collaboratively. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits the client's needs rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a simpler alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while fitting work, family, and daily responsibilities into the therapeutic process.
