About Jessica

Jessica Colocho is a Hawaii-licensed LCSW who focuses on supporting people navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, anger, and other life challenges. She centers care on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while shaping therapy to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of evidence-based methods to help clients build practical skills and clearer coping strategies. Her style emphasizes collaboration and individualized planning, so conversations and treatment goals grow from what matters most to the client.

Jessica blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and client-centered approaches to address patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and values-driven change. She also uses elements from DBT and relational methods when communication, intimacy, or conflict are central concerns.

Jessica offers services in English and Spanish and works with people facing relationship and family issues, grief, sleep difficulties, self-esteem work, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She aims to empower clients to take courageous steps toward more satisfying, manageable daily life while tailoring pacing and focus to each person’s situation.

Approaches for Online Therapeutic Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and values-based action to increase psychological flexibility and support meaningful life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship that validates experience and allows clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and may integrate elements from multiple approaches to tailor a plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make consistent care easier to fit into busy schedules, support continuity during life transitions, and provide different options for communicating about sensitive topics. Licensed professionals can adapt the therapeutic tools above to these formats so clients can work toward practical skills and personal goals from wherever they are.
