About Jessica
Jessica Herrera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with adults who are dealing with self-esteem struggles, family tension, communication problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Herrera uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients notice patterns and practice different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical skills for handling anxiety and mood, and on clearer communication in strained relationships. She also supports people working through self-forgiveness and learning kinder self-talk.
Her bilingual practice offers services in English and Spanish, which can help people express difficult emotions in the language they are most comfortable using. She draws on clinical methods shown to help with social anxiety and phobia, and she tailors conversations to what each person brings to the room.
Jessica favors a collaborative style. She helps clients set small, measurable goals and practices new skills between sessions. That might include short behavioral experiments, role-play for better conversations, or stepwise exercises to reduce shame-driven avoidance.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change, skills practice, and clearer communication. For example, behavioral methods involve small, repeated actions to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations. Cognitive-based strategies look at unhelpful thoughts tied to guilt and shame and teach ways to test and reframe them. She also uses practical communication work that helps people rehearse conversations and try new responses in low-stakes ways. That approach can help with relationship tension and with saying no or asking for what you need without overwhelming anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list explicit formats. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online makes it easier to fit sessions into their week, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or removing the need to be on camera for every meeting. Double-check current session options so you know how best to set up appointments that fit your routine.Areas of expertise
