    About Jessica

    Jessica Hervatin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with decades of clinical experience. She greets people with a straightforward, compassionate style and aims to meet them where they are. Jessica focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns.

    She trained in counseling psychology and has worked in many settings over a long career. Her roles have included employee assistance counselor, drug and alcohol counselor, crisis counselor, hospital mental health therapist, and instructor at a local university. That variety has shaped a practical approach to common problems like mood disorders, trauma, and post-traumatic stress.

    In sessions she uses a mix of methods based on the person in front of her. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience.

    Jessica also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, and dialectical behavior techniques to teach skills for emotion regulation and stress tolerance. Her practice includes work with addictions, personality disorder features, caregiver stress, social anxiety, and issues many women face.

    She will ask about your goals and help you make a plan you can follow. Jessica accepts international clients and works from Pennsylvania. If you want to learn more, use the Start Therapy button to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

  2. How Jessica’s approaches work in online therapy

    Jessica uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify their own reasons to change and build motivation step by step. That approach fits issues like addiction, lifestyle shifts, and any goal that needs steady, internal drive.

    She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and understanding the person’s experience, which helps with grief, depression, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation guides the plan rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and letting people meet from wherever they are at the moment. Ask about the available session options when you schedule so arrangements match your routine and needs.
