Jessica Herz , LMHC

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, relationship struggles, and challenges related to life changes. Jessica also supports clients facing addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, and issues connected to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.

Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior strategies to help people manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. She also brings client-centered listening to make sure each person feels heard.

Jessica draws from emotionally focused and mindfulness practices when relationships and long-standing patterns are part of the problem. That can mean working on communication, attachment concerns, or how past experiences shape current reactions. Her work is collaborative and tailored to each person's goals.

She has ten years of experience in clinical settings and community work across a range of concerns, including family-related stress, caregiver strain, body image, and recovery from substance use. Jessica frames therapy as a partnership where small, steady changes add up over time.

Jessica recognizes that getting started can feel hard. She aims for a respectful, empathetic tone and clear steps in the room. People who want straightforward guidance and practical coping skills often find this style helpful.

Approaches for online progress and coping

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps clarify goals and values so people feel more confident making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving relationships. Techniques include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that help when reactions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps match techniques to a person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, quicker access, and different ways to stay connected with a licensed professional.
