About Jessica
Jessica Saxton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York who brings a decade of professional experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and the challenges that accompany grief, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses addictions, career issues, self-esteem, and a range of related areas including chronic illness, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Jessica blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to shape personalized plans.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and strategies to each person’s circumstances. Her approach aims to support clients in building practical coping skills, clarifying values and goals, and finding forward momentum through difficult changes.
People who choose her are often seeking collaborative guidance and pragmatic tools for emotional regulation, renewed motivation, or relief from persistent worries. Jessica welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward greater self-understanding and resilience, and she supports them throughout the process of change.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Jessica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability, while mindfulness teaches attention and acceptance skills that can help with stress, grief, and chronic emotional pain.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify their personal goals and strengthen motivation for change; this approach is useful when working through ambivalence about recovery, substance use, or career and life transitions. Together these methods provide a balance of concrete skill building and collaborative exploration to address practical problems and emotional struggles.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to experiment with strategies and provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This variety allows people to access consistent support from New York and internationally while using formats that suit their daily life and communication style.
