About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Dennis is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, career pressure, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, relationship strain, trauma and anger. She offers live chat messaging as her current session format and notes she typically schedules sessions in the evenings.
Her work focuses on practical steps people can use when frustration builds or when temper gets in the way of work and relationships. She uses plain conversation and short check-ins to help clients name reactions and try new ways of responding. Sessions tend to be chat-based rather than long lectures, and she invites direct questions about immediate problems at work or home.
Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with depression, ADHD, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing multicultural stress, prejudice, and first responder issues. The emphasis is on noticing patterns, practicing different responses, and tracking progress over time.
She offers coaching-style work for career issues and executive concerns alongside therapy for emotional health. That often involves setting goals, testing practical strategies between sessions, and reviewing what worked. Her approach is straightforward: break problems into small steps, try a change, and measure whether it helps.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Jessica works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
Practical evidence-based approaches for chat therapy
Jessica uses straightforward evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anger, stress, and related concerns. One common approach is behavioral change work that focuses on identifying triggers, practicing alternative responses, and tracking whether those responses reduce conflict over time. This helps when anger shows up at work or in close relationships.She also draws on cognitive strategies that look at the thoughts that feed angry reactions. Those techniques teach ways to test automatic thoughts, reframe unhelpful interpretations, and try different behavioral options. These tools can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and recurring frustration.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the client’s goals and daily life. That collaboration includes reviewing what helps and changing course when something doesn’t fit.
Jessica currently offers live chat messaging sessions, so practical benefits are about fitting therapy into a busy schedule. Chat sessions can be shorter and easier to slot into an evening or a work break, and they let people write out thoughts when that feels clearer than speaking.
