Jess Auch, LMSW

Jess Auch is a Michigan-licensed therapist with nine years of professional experience who supports adults navigating relationship challenges, grief and loss, parenting concerns, motivation and self-esteem, and major life changes. She holds an LMSW, which stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, and brings a practical, compassionate approach to each client interaction.

Jess works with individuals on communication problems, forgiveness, and questions of life purpose, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s specific needs and goals. She emphasizes sensitivity and respect while helping clients build confidence, find direction after loss, and improve connection in relationships.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, Jess affirms clients for taking that first step and collaborates with them to create supportive, goal-focused work. Her practice combines experience with a client-centered focus to help people move forward through change and strengthen skills for coping and growth.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy Options

Jess uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and emotional processing. Skills-focused work helps clients develop coping strategies for stress, improve motivation and self-esteem, and find tools for managing parenting challenges and life transitions. Relational and grief-focused approaches center on improving communication, processing loss, and exploring forgiveness and life purpose to restore connection and meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jess collaborates with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and daily life, allowing clients to continue therapy during transitions or when in-person visits are not practical.
