About Jessica
Jessica Hartmann is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also offers support for parenting concerns, relationship strain, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption and attachment. Her work is grounded in listening first and tailoring the plan to each person.
Jessica earned her Master of Arts from Simmons School of Social Work in 2017 and received her Massachusetts LICSW in 2020. She has eight years of clinical experience and has practiced in hospitals, legal settings, primary care, schools, and community agencies. That range gives her familiarity with different systems and common stressors people face.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She starts by getting to know a person and their goals. From there she offers practical coping strategies and steps to change behaviors when that is needed. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problems.
Jessica integrates several therapeutic approaches depending on the person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when people want concrete tools for anxiety and panic. Attachment-Based and Trauma-Focused ideas help when early relationships or past trauma shape current reactions.
People come to her for both short-term problem solving and longer-term work to understand patterns that repeat. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where someone can try out new ways of coping and build skills to manage panic disorder, social anxiety, or other concerns listed here.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jessica often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach specific tools for anxiety and panic, such as breathing techniques and thought-challenging exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people look at how early relationships shape current reactions, which can guide work on trust, boundaries, and connection. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a framework for gently addressing past traumatic events and building skills to reduce their impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose or blend methods and adjust the plan over time based on what feels useful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. The focus stays on practical skills, reflection, and problem solving that can be used in everyday life.
