Jessica Brousseau, LPC

Jessica Brousseau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut who uses an integrative, client-centered approach to support individuals and families through challenging life experiences. She completed graduate work in School Counseling at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, CT, and over the past three years has provided counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, academic challenges, LGBT issues, relationship and social difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges with sleep, eating, parenting, and career matters.

Jessica draws from evidence-based practices to tailor care to each person she meets. Her approach weaves together solution-focused brief therapy, which helps clients identify practical steps toward immediate goals; cognitive behavioral therapy, which explores the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and strengths-based techniques that emphasize existing resources and resilience. She emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to weigh in on which strategies feel most useful and adapting techniques to meet individual needs and preferences.

Jessica recognizes that seeking counseling requires courage and commitment, and she aims to make therapy a constructive, goal-oriented process. She looks forward to partnering with those ready to pursue meaningful change and improved wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. She also draws on solution-focused brief therapy, which emphasizes setting clear, achievable goals and identifying small, concrete steps that move clients toward the changes they want. Strengths-based techniques are integrated as well, highlighting personal resources and resilience to support recovery and growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica collaborates with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting strategies together so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations within the therapist's service area, and provide multiple ways to engage so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
