About Jessica
Jessica Sorbello is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and ADHD. She aims to make the first step easier by listening without judgment and creating a clear plan for change. Her manner is direct and caring, and she encourages practical steps people can try between sessions.
With 11 years of experience in New York, Jessica focuses on building emotional understanding and new coping skills.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward talk to name patterns that get in the way and to teach small, repeatable strategies for calmer days. Clients can expect a mix of problem-solving and skills practice. Her work also addresses self-esteem, intimacy concerns, relationship and family struggles, sleep and eating issues, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms.
Jessica pays attention to impulsivity, attachment challenges, and the fallout from abandonment or adoption experiences. She supports people dealing with substance use and other addictive behaviors. Therapy sessions draw on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
That blend helps people change unhelpful thinking, learn emotion regulation tools, and stay motivated for the work of recovery. Jessica adapts approaches to each person's goals. She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where practical skills meet personal values.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on realistic steps to get there. The aim is steadier mood, clearer choices, and better day-to-day functioning.
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood; it helps people clarify goals and make choices that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that contribute to stress and ADHD symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) gives concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools for strong feelings and impulsivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in over time and adjusts techniques based on what is helping and what isn’t, so therapy stays focused and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or a good option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging give shorter, focused support between sessions and make it easier to send notes or practice exercises. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while fitting sessions into busy lives.
