Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff , LMFT

Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people make change in daily life. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. Dr. Jess-Huff centers sessions on actionable skills so people leave with clear steps to try between visits.

Her style is educational and focused on behavioral activation. Sessions aim to be relatable and easy to apply. People can expect to learn coping tools, build routines, and practice new behaviors week to week.

Dr. Jess-Huff has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and complications that come with chronic illness or major life changes.

She draws on attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused methods. That mix is used to match what feels most helpful for each person rather than sticking to one rigid method. The focus is on what will reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Dr. Jess-Huff practices in Florida and speaks English. She has a particular interest in women's health and works with people across the LGBTQIA community, including transgender-identifying individuals. Her aim is to support people as they move toward healthier, more satisfying lives.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Attachment-based work focuses on how past and current relationships shape feeling and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in intimacy, abandonment worries, and communication problems so they can try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for managing strong feelings and high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skills practice, and follow-up between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum while working on change.
