About Jessica
Jessica Baes is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four years of clinical experience guiding people through periods of stress, anxiety, and career uncertainty. She helps clients facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and major life transitions by centering their strengths and personal goals.
Background and approach
Jessica frames therapy as a collaborative process that honors each person as the expert on their own life while offering practical tools and emotional support. Her work often focuses on building confidence, improving communication, and clarifying life purpose so clients can move toward a more fulfilling day-to-day experience.
Jessica also attends to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, workplace difficulties, and feelings of guilt or shame, bringing a respectful, encouraging presence to those issues. She does not provide letters, forms, or documentation for legal, medical, or employment purposes, including requests related to emotional support animals, disability accommodations, or court matters.
Jessica welcomes clients who are ready to engage in growth and change and supports them in shaping the outcomes they hope to achieve.
Combining practical approaches with online flexibility
Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and workplace or relationship challenges. CBT is focused on connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can practice changes that produce measurable relief.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients' perspectives and goals shape the work. That approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people build insight and self-directed growth.
Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss what might suit a client's situation and adapt techniques as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from different locations within California, and integrate therapy into daily life without sacrificing continuity of care.
