About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Temple is a clinical rehabilitation neuropsychologist who brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She is licensed as a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS017722) and a Virginia Psychologist (VA Psychologist 0810007495) and bases her practice in Virginia.
She talks plainly about stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD so people feel understood from the first session. Her approach blends practical strategies with attention to daily life.
Background and approach
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and make small changes. Sessions focus on real skills - managing sleep, reducing worry, or handling parenting stress - rather than abstract theories. She has particular experience supporting people living with chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, and thinking or memory challenges.
That background helps when physical health affects mood, concentration, or daily routines. She also supports those facing caregiver strain, workplace stress, divorce and separation, and issues common to women and veterans. In sessions she aims to make a straightforward, nonjudgmental space for talking through worries and trying new approaches.
Therapy is collaborative - she helps clients set clear goals and measures progress one step at a time. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and often starts by focusing on what will feel most helpful right away. Dr.
Temple offers care in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her work can fit into busy schedules and is shaped around practical problems and everyday demands.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful when parenting stress or chronic health issues make it hard to stick to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and day-to-day parenting challenges. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment noticing to reduce reactivity and support better focus and calm in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques in sessions, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit your life and feel manageable between sessions.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets people check in between meetings or use shorter touchpoints during a busy day. These options make it simpler to get support while juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
