About Jessica

Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and the everyday pressures of parenting and stress. She meets people where they are and works alongside them to find clearer ways forward.

Jessica listens for the stories people tell about themselves and the events that shaped them. She uses Narrative Therapy to help separate a person from their problems and to rewrite unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer practical skills for emotion regulation and action aligned with values. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Jessica helps clients notice what matters most to them, name unhelpful thoughts or habits, and try small experiments to test new ways of coping.

She offers tools that people can use between sessions to manage anxiety, mood swings, or overwhelm. People often come for help with grief, identity questions, conflict, or symptoms of anxiety and depression. Jessica also supports those navigating ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and recovery from past abuse.

She pays attention to attachment patterns and communication problems that show up in close relationships. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to be collaborative while giving concrete techniques and gentle challenges when helpful.

For many clients this mix of narrative exploration and skills practice leads to clearer choices and steadier daily functioning.

Online session options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jessica often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and to identify alternative stories that fit their values and goals. Narrative work is useful for identity questions, shame, and patterns that keep repeating.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice inner experiences, clarify what matters, and take committed action even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used alongside these approaches to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and to build practical coping skills for anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to decide which combination of methods makes the most sense based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps preserve face-to-face dialogue, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier to fit into busy days. These options provide flexibility to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and other life demands.
