Jessica Callaway , LMHC

Jessica Callaway draws on an evidence-based approach to help people manage anxiety, stress, anger, and depression. She presents a calm, approachable style and focuses on practical skills people can try between sessions. Jessica is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida and offering care in English.

She uses a mix of mindfulness, dialectical behavioral techniques, person-centered work, and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide conversations. Sessions often include breathing and grounding exercises, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing new ways to respond to strong emotions. Jessica emphasizes clear, step-by-step strategies so people feel less overwhelmed.

Her background includes time in the military and experience as a substitute teacher, which shaped her ability to work with different ages and situations. She has four years of clinical experience and has facilitated groups and led one-on-one sessions. That range informs a practical, down-to-earth style that aims to meet each person where they are.

Jessica supports people coping with life changes, caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns. She also addresses issues such as divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Her work is intended to help people build tools to handle everyday challenges.

To begin, she asks people to describe current concerns and goals so sessions can focus on immediate needs while building longer-term skills. Therapy is collaborative and paced to individual readiness and priorities.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Jessica uses mindfulness practice to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment, which can reduce stress and ground someone during strong emotions. Dialectical behavioral techniques focus on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, useful for anxiety, anger, and relationship stress. Cognitive behavioral ideas look at thought patterns and test new behaviors to shift mood and coping over time.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Sessions build practical exercises and homework that fit a person’s routine so progress can continue between meetings.

Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflection, and flexible communication through the week, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules.
