    About Jessica

    Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maine. She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. She meets each person where they are and offers practical tools to build on strengths and address challenges.

    She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Jessica listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. She emphasizes skills people can use between sessions so progress continues outside the room.

    Her background includes a mix of approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Jungian Therapy. Those methods are used to help with mood, anxiety, attention differences, grief, and coping with life changes.

    Jessica often focuses on issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, communication problems, and divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and body image struggles.

    Her style is warm and practical. She helps people notice what already works for them and try new ways of responding when old patterns cause pain. Seeking help is framed as a courageous step, and she aims to make the process manageable and goal-oriented.

  2. How her approaches guide online therapy choices

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change. It uses respectful questions and reflection so a person can weigh options and build motivation for a next step. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which method or blend of methods fits their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

    Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also make sessions more accessible for people managing health or mobility limits. The focus remains on practical, usable skills and small steps that can be applied between sessions.
