About Jessica

Jessica Leising is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with five years of professional experience. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties, and depression. Her clinical work also extends to related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, substance use, eating and food-related issues, family conflicts, and questions around gender and identity.

Jessica approaches each person as the expert of their own story, aiming to build on existing strengths while addressing the specific obstacles that interfere with daily life and relationships. She emphasizes practical skill-building and thoughtful exploration of patterns that contribute to distress, and she supports clients in developing greater confidence and motivation over time. Recognizing that beginning therapy requires courage, Jessica honors that step and offers a collaborative, respectful space for clients to start working toward the changes they want to make.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Jessica Leising draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and deeper understanding of patterns that maintain distress. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and introduce concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Trauma-informed approaches emphasize safety, pacing, and processing of traumatic experiences to reduce their ongoing impact on relationships and daily functioning. Attachment-focused work explores relationship patterns and abandonment concerns to strengthen connection and communication in current relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so the plan remains a good fit. This shared decision making helps clients feel involved and supported as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from home. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, evidence-based care through these formats while tailoring pace and tools to each clientâs situation.
