About Jessica
Jessica Leising is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jessica also focuses on abandonment and attachment issues, caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, and substance and eating-related concerns.
She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and emphasizes practical strengths that can be used to move through challenges. Sessions are presented as a collaborative effort where the client’s priorities guide the work. Jessica encourages people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationship, or health to begin by naming what matters most right now.
In the therapy room she uses evidence-based techniques matched to each person’s needs. Conversations include identifying patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and building small skills that change day-to-day functioning. She also addresses relational patterns such as attachment and codependency through focused discussion and behavioral experiments.
Jessica has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and complex stressors tied to caregiving and identity. She approaches these topics with practical steps and steady pacing, helping clients move toward clearer decision points and more manageable routines.
Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Jessica conducts work in English from New York.
Approaches for clarifying purpose and relationships online
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach is skills-focused work that helps people recognize unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and build routines that reduce anxiety and increase day-to-day functioning. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression where small changes can have visible effects.Another approach addresses attachment and relational patterns. This involves identifying recurring relationship dynamics, trying out different communication strategies, and reflecting on how past experiences shape present choices. It can help with abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She treats the selection as collaborative and will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and make scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals adapt session length and focus to fit what a person can manage that week.
