About Jessica

Jessica Hartmann is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts who focuses on concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, relationship and family challenges, parenting, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of professional experience and a background working in legal settings, hospitals, primary care, schools, and community agencies, along with personal life experience that informs her work. Her training from Simmons School of Social Work and Massachusetts licensure contribute to a practice grounded in clinical knowledge and real-world perspective.

Jessica emphasizes a client-centered, collaborative style that recognizes each person’s unique needs. She combines practical coping strategies with approaches aimed at understanding patterns from attachment and psychodynamic viewpoints, and she uses cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate.

Sessions often blend emotional support with actionable tools to help clients change behaviors, manage symptoms, and build resilience. Prospective clients are invited to begin with a brief matching process and schedule sessions based on availability, using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches That Guide Online Collaboration

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients explore interpersonal dynamics and build more supported ways of relating; it can be useful for concerns rooted in family of origin issues, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of responding, which makes it practical for treating anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and many everyday coping challenges. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, offering strategies to manage post-traumatic stress, trauma-related anxiety, and recovery from abuse.

Choosing the right approach is often collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting problems and then tailors methods from these approaches so sessions feel relevant and workable for that individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit therapy into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within Massachusetts. These formats support ongoing work with licensed professionals, making it possible to use attachment, CBT, or trauma-focused techniques in ways that suit a client’s routine and comfort level.
