About Jessica

Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance-based and skills-focused approaches to help people navigate depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and stress.

Background and approach

Jessica emphasizes practical tools that build on each person’s strengths while addressing areas that feel difficult to manage. Her style blends collaborative problem-solving with compassionate listening, inviting clients to reflect on values, patterns, and goals while learning concrete strategies for change.

Jessica works with concerns ranging from grief, parenting, and anger to identity-related issues and anxiety, and she incorporates tailored techniques to address attachment, communication, and life transitions. She frames therapy as a courageous step toward growth and supports clients through thoughtful exploration and skill practice to foster steadier coping and clearer direction.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work

Jessica commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. ACT emphasizes values clarification and mindful acceptance of difficult feelings, helping clients build lives aligned with what matters even when challenges persist.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jessica works with clients to clarify goals, explore which methods resonate, and adjust techniques over time so the care fits each person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single method from the outset.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy or geographically dispersed clients. These formats allow for consistent access to therapy tools and skills practice while fitting sessions into everyday life, making it easier to apply new strategies between appointments.
