Jessica Dye, LMFT

Jessica Dye is a licensed therapist in California who brings eight years of clinical experience supporting adults, especially people who identify as women between the ages of 20 and 65 who juggle multiple roles. She works with individuals feeling overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, or depressed after carrying responsibilities for family, work, and caregiving. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and navigating life changes, along with related concerns such as attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, and workplace issues.

As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Jessica uses an eclectic, evidence-based approach tailored to each person. She commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, somatic experiencing, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused CBT, client-centered work, and family systems ideas. This flexibility allows her to address symptoms like anxiety and depression, process traumatic experiences, challenge guilt and shame, foster healthy boundaries, and help clients build routines that honor their bodies and minds.

Jessica emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate style that invites clients to move at their own pace. In an initial session she completes an intake, clarifies goals, and offers a single practical strategy to try between sessions. Her aim is to help clients feel heard, respected, and lighter, while equipping them with skills to support themselves over time.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. She also incorporates somatic experiencing, a body-focused method that helps people notice and release physical responses tied to trauma and stress. Mindfulness practices are woven into many sessions to build awareness, reduce reactivity, and support emotion regulation.

Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica collaborates with each person to clarify goals, assess needs, and adapt techniques so the work fits the client’s preferences and life circumstances. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format better suits their schedule or comfort. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain progress between meetings, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life, all while working with licensed professionals attuned to each person’s needs.
