About Jessica

Jessica Hrdlicka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with 15 years of clinical experience working across schools, community settings, and independent practice.

Background and approach

She draws on client-centered and evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD, and she tailors care to each person's needs. Jessica emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and practical coping strategies aimed at improving everyday functioning and emotional resilience.

Her background includes work with people from early childhood through young adulthood and special training in supporting trauma recovery, neurodivergence, and challenges related to chronic pain and body image. Jessica takes a collaborative stance, partnering with clients to explore life purpose, address mood and relationship concerns, and develop sustainable skills for coping with change.

She combines narrative and mindfulness techniques alongside cognitive strategies to foster insight and measurable change. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where interventions are adapted to individual goals and circumstances.

Jessica focuses on empowerment and healing, guiding people toward greater self-understanding and tools that support long-term well-being.

Online approaches that support growth and healing

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client's perspective guides treatment; it helps people feel heard and fosters self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and reshape emotional responses that affect relationships and self-understanding, supporting deeper connection and emotional processing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Jessica works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods over time so interventions remain aligned with what is most helpful for the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options allow clients to engage in care from different locations and to select formats that fit their routines and comfort levels, while therapists continue to use the same clinical approaches and tailored interventions they would in person.
