About Gessica

Gessica Yearwood is a Florida-licensed LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - who brings six years of professional experience supporting people seeking greater motivation, confidence, and self-esteem. She has helped clients improve concentration, memory, and focus often associated with ADHD, and she works with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and persistent unpleasant thoughts. Gessica approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet the specific needs and goals of the individual. She views the choice to pursue therapy as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling and happier life and focuses on empowering clients throughout that journey. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical skill-building, and steady support as clients work toward clearer goals and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Progress

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance; it helps clients explore their values, build self-esteem, and find motivation by placing the person’s experience at the center of care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviors - it is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and repetitive negative thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing reactive behaviors, which can support work on anger, relationship challenges, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Gessica will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they will try approaches, adjust the plan, and prioritize techniques that fit the client’s life and progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. These options support regular check-ins, timely skill practice, and access to licensed professionals from different locations, helping clients stay engaged and consistent with their work in therapy.
