About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and depression. Jessica prefers practical work that highlights what already works in a person's life while building skills where people feel stuck.
She uses straightforward conversations and concrete tools. Sessions look at patterns that keep anger and resentment active. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and practice small behavior changes between meetings.
Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy among other approaches. That means she blends attention to thoughts and actions with skills for managing intense feelings and choosing what matters most. She also uses narrative and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of their story when trauma or loss is involved.
People often come to her with stress, anxiety, grief, ADHD, or difficulty communicating with partners or family. She also supports those coping with identity issues such as gender dysphoria and sexual orientation concerns. Sessions include goal setting, skill practice, and checking what is working in day-to-day life.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She will listen, offer options, and work with clients to pick strategies that fit their life and values. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most and where they want small changes to start.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It helps people who want to reduce avoidance and rebuild connection to what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses straightforward exercises to change patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing intense moments and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as skills are learned and circumstances shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and keeping momentum between appointments.
