About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Schweigert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strains, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses guilt and shame arising from family, faith, or personal choices.
Her approach blends psychodynamic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings in the present and committing to actions that reflect personal values.
In sessions she helps people name where their emotions come from and try small, practical steps to manage them. Conversations often cover communication habits, attachment patterns, and how guilt or shame shows up day to day. She also supports people facing separation, addiction concerns, or fertility-related stress.
Therapy can include talking through difficult memories, practicing present-moment awareness, and setting doable goals for behavior change. She aims to help people strengthen confidence, improve how they relate to others, and make clearer choices when life changes.
People who come for help often want to understand why they react the way they do and to find steadier ways to cope. The first sessions typically focus on what matters most now and what small steps could feel manageable next.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Schweigert uses psychodynamic therapy to look at how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings. This helps when guilt or shame is linked to family patterns, attachment, or long-held beliefs. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values. ACT can be helpful for people who want practical ways to respond differently to painful feelings. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as the person learns what helps most. Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity during life changes, while others prefer in-person meetings if offered; discuss what fits best when scheduling.Areas of expertise
