Jessica Feider , LPCC

Jessica Feider is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and depression. She brings a calm, direct approach and encourages clients to use their own strengths while working toward clearer goals.

She frames sessions around what matters most to each person. Jessica listens first, then offers practical tools people can try between meetings. She emphasizes small, doable steps and keeps language plain so clients can act on ideas right away.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience in Minnesota. That time has included supporting people with mood disorders and co-occurring concerns, and helping those who want to quit smoking or vaping. Jessica also focuses on issues that commonly affect women and young adults.

Therapy sessions blend active listening with skills and strategy. Jessica uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior approaches, and motivational interviewing to help change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices are added when they fit a person's goals.

Clients can expect collaborative planning and clear homework when it helps. Jessica aims to make the process straightforward and useful, not overwhelming. She encourages anyone ready to take a step toward feeling better to begin the simple intake process.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship; it helps people clarify goals and feel understood before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when reactions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then choose or combine methods that make sense. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust methods if something is not working.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat or text can fit short check-ins, quick coaching, or days when a full session is difficult. These options aim to make scheduling and attending therapy more flexible and achievable for everyday life.
