About Jessica
Jessica Saxton is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with ten years of practice.

Jessica approaches each person with respect and compassion, and she aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
She uses straightforward conversations to learn what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to individual needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Jessica pays attention to practical coping skills and patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her work often includes tools from cognitive behavioral approaches that help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts.
She also draws on mindfulness practices to calm the nervous system and strengthen present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set realistic steps and build momentum toward change. Jessica has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including addictions, compassion fatigue, career stress, chronic illness and pain, caregiving strain, and end-of-life issues.
She helps people who feel stuck by breaking problems into manageable parts and identifying clear next steps. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Jessica supports people who want to build self-love, manage seasonal mood changes, or work through obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
Her approach is patient, direct, and focused on what the person wants to achieve.

How Jessica's Approaches Work Online
Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and mood swings because it focuses on clear exercises and new skill practice.She also brings mindfulness-based tools into sessions to help people steady attention and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be short and practical, like focused breathing or brief grounding practices, which work well in a remote format.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods over time so the plan matches changing needs and progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life while using the techniques discussed above.
