About Jessica

Jessica Sorbello is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She supports individuals facing challenges from mood disorders and substance issues to relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, addressing areas such as self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, and trauma. Her practice also attends to focused topics like attachment and abandonment issues, body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and family problems.

Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and experiment with healthier coping skills. Jessica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered techniques and elements of DBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people develop insight and practical tools.

She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set realistic goals and take gradual steps toward more fulfilling day-to-day functioning. Jessica frames healing as an active process requiring courage and commitment, and she aims to empower clients as they work toward change.

Based in New York, she brings a supportive stance and evidence-informed methods to promote clearer thinking, emotional regulation, and improved coping across life transitions.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Jessica often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also incorporates Client-Centered techniques that prioritize empathy and listening so clients can explore emotions at their own pace and shape goals that feel meaningful to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what resonates and what produces helpful changes over time. The aim is to find tools and perspectives that fit a client’s goals and daily life, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care through busy periods, allow follow-up between sessions, and offer varied ways to engage with therapy work depending on how a client prefers to communicate.
