About Jessica
Jessica Hartmann is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with eight years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and family of origin issues among other challenges. Jessica also addresses topics such as ADHD, postpartum depression, and caregiver stress.
She trained at Simmons School of Social Work and received her LICSW in Massachusetts in 2020. Her background includes work in legal settings, hospitals, primary care, schools, and community agencies. That mix of settings informs how she approaches practical problems that show up in daily life.
Jessica uses a client-centered stance and aims to get to know each person before suggesting strategies. She offers coping tools and behavior-focused techniques when helpful, and she also draws on longer-term approaches to understand recurring patterns. Sessions combine short-term skills with attention to how past relationships influence current choices.
Attachment-focused ideas are part of her work when family ties and early roles shape how someone relates now. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Psychodynamic thinking can help map repeating patterns that come from family of origin dynamics.
People who see her can expect a straightforward, practical approach. Jessica aims to discuss clear goals and next steps in each session. To begin, she asks about what is most pressing and then offers coping options and longer-term ways to address recurring problems.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present behavior and feelings. It can help people notice roles they learned in their family and how those roles affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing small, concrete changes that can reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying different tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography did not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use strategies from sessions directly in their everyday setting, then bring observations back to discuss in the next meeting.
