About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, anger, and relationship and parenting concerns.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and clear goals. Sessions typically look at what is causing the distress, what keeps it going, and what practical steps reduce its hold. She uses methods that help people change thought patterns, tell difficult stories differently, and process traumatic memories when needed.
Her approach is client-centered and direct. Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.
Jessica draws on a dozen years of varied clinical work in Colorado. That background includes supporting people through life transitions, abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and problems with impulsivity or isolation. She also works with clients navigating ADHD and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns.
In sessions she aims to be practical and respectful. Conversations move at a person’s pace and focus on clear steps a client can try between meetings. She asks about goals up front and checks progress as work continues.
How Jessica applies therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals the client cares about. The therapist follows a person's concerns and helps shape conversation to practical aims like reducing outbursts or easing workplace frustration.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses that reduce anger and anxiety. EMDR is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories that keep triggering strong reactions; it is often used when past events are maintaining current anger or avoidance.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they will review what is or isn't working and adjust the plan as needed.
