About Jessica

Dr. Jessica Temple is a clinical rehabilitation neuropsychologist licensed to practice psychology in Virginia and Pennsylvania (PA Psychologist PS017722, VA Psychologist 0810007495). She brings 12 years of professional experience working with people facing a range of cognitive, emotional, and health-related challenges. Her clinical work addresses chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, thinking impairments including concentration and memory problems, stroke-related changes, stress and anxiety, sleep difficulties, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and attention-related issues such as ADHD.

Dr. Temple emphasizes a collaborative, respectful approach that makes space for clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. She focuses on helping individuals understand how thinking patterns, daily routines, and life circumstances interact with cognition and emotional wellbeing, and she tailors strategies to each person’s strengths and goals. Her training in rehabilitation neuropsychology supports practical interventions for thinking and memory difficulties alongside therapeutic support for mood, stress, and adjustment.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, Dr. Temple aims to meet clients where they are and support steady progress. She works with clients to set achievable goals and develop skills that fit into everyday life, helping them move toward improved functioning and greater balance.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Virtual Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for stress, chronic illness adjustment, and persistent worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep problems and to improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, managing interpersonal conflict, and increasing distress tolerance, which can help with compassion fatigue and high-stress situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Temple works collaboratively with clients to explore which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure the treatment plan feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those managing health or caregiving responsibilities. Clients can meet by video, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to maintain continuity of care between sessions. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
