About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a licensed clinical social worker who offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or life changes. She introduces gentle structure and steady listening so clients feel understood and can begin making small, useful changes. With 12 years of experience in Colorado, Jessica draws on methods that focus on the person's experience and strengths.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
Expect clear goals, practical strategies, and room to tell your story. Jessica has worked with people coping with trauma, abuse, and loss, and she addresses concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. She also pays attention to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and the effects of major life transitions.
Her approach blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral work, narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and EMDR-related trauma processing. Sessions are paced to match what the person needs that day, whether that is skills practice, problem solving, or deeper processing. Jessica aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can name what’s hardest and try new ways of coping.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and helps people build routines and strategies they can use between sessions.
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflection, and support. The therapist follows the person’s lead, helps name feelings, and builds goals together to make day-to-day life easier and more manageable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include simple homework and practice of specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-oriented method that helps people process distressing memories. In online sessions it can be used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger.
Jessica approaches choosing a method as a collaboration. She will talk with the person about their goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, narrative work to reframe experiences, or trauma processing.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video gives face-to-face contact, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on progress.
