About Jessica
Jessica Manley is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Jessica also works with issues around intimacy, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and family matters.
Her way of working is straightforward and person-focused. She listens to what feels most urgent and then helps clients set short-term goals. Sessions often include practical strategies for managing mood, reducing anxiety, and improving communication. Jessica uses a mix of approaches so she can match methods to what a person needs in the moment.
She draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone is weighing change, especially around substance use or other habit patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas show up when examining repeating relationship patterns or attachment concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients leave a session with clear next steps for coping and problem solving. Her practice emphasizes steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
Jessica sees adults and conducts work in English. She practices from Florida and does not take international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the site's booking flow.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to a session. Online, that looks like checking in about what matters most and shaping each meeting around the person's immediate concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means practicing small behavior experiments between meetings and reviewing how those experiments went.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will use your goals and preferences to decide whether more CBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic exploration, or solution-focused work makes sense. The plan can shift as needs change, with regular check-ins about progress and next steps.
Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current options before booking through the site's scheduling flow. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Some formats also reduce bandwidth needs or remove the need to be on camera, which can help people keep therapy practical alongside work and family responsibilities.
