About Jessica
Jessica Del Gaudio is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Jessica focuses on practical steps and clear conversations rather than jargon.
She frames therapy as a partnership and listens first to understand each person's situation. Sessions are adapted to the needs of the individual, with attention to respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Background and approach
Jessica emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time. Her work commonly addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, difficulties with intimacy and relationships, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and complicated grief.
Jessica incorporates several evidence-informed approaches to suit different problems and preferences. She draws on methods that help people build skills for emotion regulation, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and clarify personal values. The approach is flexible and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
People who are looking for straightforward, respectful support often find her style helpful. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where goals are clear and progress is tracked. Jessica encourages collaboration so each person can shape the plan and pace of work together.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns for anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer real-time conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need to fit support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still practicing the same therapeutic skills discussed in sessions.
