About Jaha
Jaha Higgs helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with 12 years of professional experience in California.
Background and approach
Her style is practical and respectful, aimed at making small changes that add up over time. She works with people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and the isolation that comes with shame or guilt.
She also supports those facing attachment wounds, communication problems, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps you can try between meetings.
Her approach is tailored to each person. Conversations and plans are adjusted to fit what feels most helpful for the individual.
Jaha emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while keeping work grounded and doable. Clients can expect straightforward dialogue about patterns, feelings, and practical strategies.
She aims to make therapy understandable and applicable to daily life. The focus is on building skills, noticing change, and addressing obstacles that keep people stuck.
Taking the first step to seek help is often hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Jaha offers steady support through that process and partners with clients to pursue more satisfying, stable emotional life.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are trauma-focused strategies and skills-based work for anxiety and mood. Trauma-focused work looks at how past hurt affects current life and teaches ways to manage overwhelming memories and reactions. Skills-based work breaks problems into manageable parts and builds concrete tools for worry, low mood, and stress.She also uses attachment-informed methods to help people notice patterns in relationships and to practice different ways of connecting. That approach can help with communication problems, feelings of emptiness, and recurring conflicts by making small, testable shifts in how people relate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat offer flexible, on-the-go ways to share updates or try brief check-ins between meetings. These formats aim to make consistent therapy easier to fit into daily life.
