About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Dennis offers short, direct support through live chat messaging. She is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - based in Virginia with more than 11 years of professional experience. Her profile is aimed at people looking for text-based, real-time talk therapy rather than phone or video sessions.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and burnout. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and attention-deficit concerns. Additional focus areas include first responder issues and multicultural or prejudice-related concerns.
In sessions she keeps the conversation open and nonjudgmental. Her approach centers on listening, helping people name what matters, and working together on practical next steps. She often meets in the evenings and can arrange set chat times earlier in the day on request.
Jessica emphasizes coaching-style conversations for career and professional concerns as well as therapeutic support for emotional challenges. She encourages people to take small, manageable steps and to try approaches that fit their daily life.
To begin, a reader can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online chat therapy
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear problem-solving and skills practice. For example, a behavioral approach helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works. This is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Another common technique emphasizes coaching and goal-setting, which breaks larger career or work problems into concrete steps and decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or has not helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that match those needs and adjust them over time in collaborative sessions.
This therapist currently offers live chat messaging sessions only. If you want phone or video sessions, please confirm options before booking or consider a different profile. Online sessions by chat can make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or brief breaks, allow written notes you can reread, and reduce the need to be on camera. Talk with the therapist about scheduling preferred chat times and how to shape sessions to match your day-to-day life.
