About Jessica

Jessica Sorbello is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through grief and anger. She also supports concerns related to self-esteem, intimacy, sleep, parenting, and mood disorders. Jessica aims to make the first step toward change feel possible and understandable.

Jessica focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She pays attention to emotions and practical coping skills. Sessions include talking through what is happening now, sorting out unhelpful patterns, and trying small, manageable changes between meetings.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts that fuel distress. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices are offered for emotional regulation and grounding when feelings feel overwhelming.

Jessica works collaboratively to tailor tools to each person’s situation. She emphasizes gradual skill-building and clear steps rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to help people feel more capable of handling life’s challenges and to support steady progress toward their goals.

People seeking help for relationship stress, trauma, identity questions, or changes in mood will find a calm, practical clinician who listens and offers concrete options. To begin, clients complete a short matching process and then schedule sessions that suit their needs.

How Jessica Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and experiences. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort out feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses clear exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and many everyday worries.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for staying grounded, tolerating distress, and building healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress happens.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from a quieter space.
