About Gessica

Gessica Yearwood is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings six years of clinical experience helping people who are struggling with low self-esteem, motivation, concentration, anxiety, and depression. She speaks English and focuses on practical ways to make daily life feel more manageable.

She uses a collaborative style that centers the person in front of her. That means conversations and plans are shaped around what each person needs most. She aims to be respectful, sensitive, and compassionate while helping people set small, achievable goals.

Gessica often works with concerns linked to attention and focus, such as ADHD-related challenges, and with sleep problems that affect daytime functioning. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, social anxiety, phobias, and issues around self-love and forgiveness.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She tailors which tools to use based on each person’s situation and preferences.

Gessica encourages practical steps you can try between sessions. That might include behavior experiments, brief skill practice, or small habit changes aimed at improving concentration, mood, or relationships. To begin, follow the site’s Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How Gessica’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. If something isnt helpful, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and focused on real-life changes.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and let people use video or audio depending on what works best for them. Licensed professionals adapt tools like short skill practice, behavior experiments, and motivational interviewing to remote sessions so you can work on focus, mood, and relationships from your normal routine.
