About Jessica

Jessica Stern is a New Hampshire psychologist with three decades of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and health-related worries including cancer. Jessica speaks English and Spanish and draws on her bilingual background when it fits a client’s needs.

Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented. She combines practical skill-building with deeper conversations about patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions often include teaching coping strategies, clarifying personal goals, and checking progress together.

Jessica trained and practices using approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-focused work, trauma-focused techniques, and mindfulness tools. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-esteem. These methods are used flexibly to match what each person needs.

Over her career she has provided evaluation, therapy, and coaching across many concerns including depression, panic, post-traumatic stress, family of origin and blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, immigration-related stress, and intimacy or abandonment worries. She also supports clients dealing with career shifts and life purpose questions.

Her intake process asks people to describe current concerns and goals so treatment plans can be built collaboratively. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize why they react a certain way in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through homework and skill practice. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process upsetting memories so they feel less intrusive and overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. It also makes it possible for clients who live in other regions to connect with a licensed professional in New Hampshire. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length so therapy fits everyday routines.
