About Jessica
Jessica Busekist is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and relationship and family concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and mood disorders.
Jessica centers sessions on the client's goals. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people decide what matters most and which steps to try. She respects that most people do not arrive knowing exactly what they need, and she helps narrow down options without pressure.
Her approach combines listening with active strategies. That can mean skill-building for handling frustration, short-term solution-focused planning, motivational work to change habits, or targeted trauma processing when needed. She encourages small, manageable experiments between sessions to test what helps.
People bring a wide range of problems to her office - from daily irritability and workplace frustration to deep wounds from past events. She pays attention to how anger shows up in relationships and daily life, and works with each person on practical ways to reduce reactivity and build safer interactions.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Jessica explains options, checks in about what’s working, and adjusts the plan over time. Her aim is to help people feel clearer about next steps and more able to handle the real moments that trigger anger or stress.
How Jessica uses her approaches in online work
Client-centered therapy places the client’s goals and decisions at the center of sessions. It involves listening, reflecting what matters to you, and shaping plans that feel doable. This helps with anger tied to relationships, work stress, or low self-esteem.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works on upsetting memories and the feelings tied to them. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions, including persistent anger or avoidance.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will discuss approaches, try options, and check in about what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize based on goals and how the work is going.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. If a session without video would help for a quick update or lower bandwidth, discuss that option when arranging sessions. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule so you can pick what suits your routine.
