About Jessica

Jessica Lee is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify strengths and practical steps toward change.

Jessica blends cognitive and emotionally focused strategies with mindfulness and dialectical skills to tailor care to each person’s needs. She pays attention to patterns that arise from family of origin, attachment, and communication dynamics, and addresses issues like codependency, infidelity, grief, shame, and impulsivity with both skill-building and reflective work.

Her practice welcomes clients seeking support for intimacy-related problems, coping with separation or divorce, and recovery from substance use concerns. Sessions aim to balance active problem-solving with space for understanding emotions and rebuilding connection to purpose.

Jessica works with international clients in English and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jessica often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT sessions focus on practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support that helps people explore feelings and clarify personal goals in a pace that suits them. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices are introduced to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose methods that align with the client’s goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve. This cooperative stance helps tailor interventions so they feel useful and relevant rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or different time zones. These formats support consistent engagement and allow licensed professionals to provide structured skill work, reflective conversations, and check-ins without requiring travel, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions.
