About Jessica
Jessica Lee is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and addiction.
Background and approach
Jessica prefers a straightforward, collaborative approach that centers the client's concerns and strengths. She listens first and then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.
Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes like improving communication, managing strong emotions, and coping with big life transitions. She uses techniques that help people recognize unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and reconnect with what matters to them.
Jessica draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's perspective. She combines cognitive-behavioral tools to change thinking patterns and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion and distress management.
Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and family of origin problems.
Jessica offers support for people dealing with impulsivity, guilt and shame, infidelity, and substance use challenges. She aims to create a paced plan that fits each person's needs and life demands.
Sessions are conducted in English and are available through online formats. Jessica works with international clients and helps people find the most suitable format and rhythm for ongoing care.
Approach and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist follows the client's pace, listens closely, and helps people name their priorities. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive place to figure out what matters most and to build on existing strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to develop new coping habits. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving tools people can use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It includes techniques for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and better interpersonal behavior, which can be valuable for impulsivity, anger, or unstable mood patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the approach as work progresses. Clients and the therapist set short-term targets and review what helps most over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
