About Jessica
Jessica Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. Jessica also supports people dealing with self-esteem, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, eating problems, career questions, depression, ADHD, and LGBT matters.
Her style is direct and person-focused. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. She listens for what feels most important and adjusts what she tries next based on how sessions go. Clients can expect clear steps rather than abstract theories.
In sessions she draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and notice small changes that build over time.
Jessica aims to address real-life problems like losing temper with a partner, mounting resentment at work, or trouble calming down after stressful events. She offers straightforward strategies for managing reactions, improving communication, and finding more control in daily life.
Beginning work starts with a simple conversation about what is most pressing. From there she and the client set priorities and try small, testable steps. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for the person’s life and schedule.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's priorities. This means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping conversations around that. Client-centered work helps when someone needs a space to talk through anger, relationship strain, or major life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and simple experiments to try between sessions, useful for managing outbursts, anxiety, or low mood. Solution-focused techniques are used to pick small, achievable goals and notice early signs of progress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adjust strategies if something is not working and set measurable short-term aims.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
