About Jessica
Jessica O'Shea is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She sees adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She helps people sort through relationship strain and family problems in straightforward ways. That can include talking through communication problems, issues around commitment or infidelity, and the effects of abandonment or attachment wounds. She also supports those managing isolation, life-purpose questions, and lingering trauma symptoms.
Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Jessica aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice different ways of relating to themselves and others. She works with clients who want clearer boundaries, better conversations, or more trust in close relationships.
Her background combines work with individuals and couples on repairing trust, improving communication, and strengthening emotional connection. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address family-of-origin issues, blended family tensions, codependency, and post-traumatic stress.
People who come for help around forgiveness, guilt and shame find direct, nonjudgmental discussion about what happened and how it affects daily life. Jessica will help identify next steps and realistic strategies that fit everyday life and responsibilities.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving relationships. For example, cognitive-based approaches look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and help people test new ways of thinking to reduce persistent guilt and anxiety.Another common approach addresses attachment and relational patterns. That work focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current closeness, trust, and communication, and it helps people practice different responses with partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with clients to figure out which techniques fit their needs and goals, adjusting methods as sessions progress. The process is a team effort where goals and preferences guide the plan.
