About Jessica
Jessica Agostini is a licensed clinical social worker who helps parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps parents can use day to day. Jessica aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
She often supports people who are coping with the effects of past or recent trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, and Jessica offers EMDR as one of the treatment options when appropriate. She uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and to build skills that stick. Jessica draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. When emotions run high, dialectical behavior therapy skills are brought in to help manage intensity and improve communication. Her work pays attention to issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, and attachment difficulties.
She also helps with guilt, shame, isolation, social anxiety, and problems with control and forgiveness. The focus is on small, concrete changes that improve family life and personal wellbeing. Jessica meets people where they are and adjusts the pace to fit their goals.
She encourages honest conversation and makes space for both struggle and progress. For parents feeling stuck or overwhelmed, her approach centers on realistic steps and steady support.

How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It’s practical and skill-focused, which translates well to video and messaging work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend attachment ideas, CBT skills, and emotion-regulation techniques so the plan matches what the client wants to work on most.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a less visual check-in. Live chat and text let clients send updates, try short exercises, or check in between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain steady progress while balancing family and other responsibilities.
