About Jessica
Jessica Panagiotidis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage anxiety, stress, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing depression, family conflicts, and the specific challenges of panic disorder and panic attacks. Her approach aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward from the start.
Jessica keeps sessions collaborative and practical. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works for each person. Therapy focuses on small, usable steps people can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and a Master of Arts in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling from Hofstra University. Jessica’s training and career history inform a blend of clinical and life-direction work that looks at both emotions and practical goals.
She has six years as an LCSW and broader experience across counseling and clinical roles. That mix supports work on life transitions, career and education changes, and relationship shifts such as divorce and blended family issues.
Clients often work on coping skills for anxiety and panic, communication strategies for family and relationship concerns, and planning steps for financial or vocational stress. The focus is on clear goals and steady progress over time.
Practical, evidence-based approaches for anxiety and transitions
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to focused work on anxiety, panic, and life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and panic; it includes concrete skills like breathing, behavioral experiments, and thought tracking to reduce symptoms.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows the view to what’s already working and sets small, achievable goals. This approach is useful for clients who want fast, practical steps to manage stress, improve relationships, or handle everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans based on what helps most. The aim is to build tools together and choose strategies that feel realistic for daily life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm available formats before booking since specific session options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a workday. It can also help when quieter surroundings or less visual focus are needed, for example choosing audio-only for lower bandwidth or a shorter phone check-in when time is tight.
