About Jessica

Jessica Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of counseling experience. She practices in Minnesota and draws on a warm, relational style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Jessica focuses on building self-esteem and practical coping skills through straightforward conversations.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Dakota and a Master of Social Work from the College of St. Catherine/University of St. Thomas. Jessica holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has been providing clinical care for 20 years, including six years under those licenses.

Her work spans rural and urban settings, including schools, day-treatment programs, in-home services, outpatient clinics, and virtual care. This variety shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different life circumstances and routines. She commonly helps people with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and workplace or school-related stress.

Jessica describes her style as person-centered and strength-based. She meets people where they are and helps them notice and build on existing strengths. She blends cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques with trauma-informed practices to teach skills for managing mood, anger, and overwhelm.

People who choose Jessica can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with clear steps to try between meetings. Her focus includes women’s issues and young adult concerns alongside more general life and career challenges.

How Jessica's Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify their goals and strengths. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries, and life transitions by building on what already works for the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jessica will discuss what feels most helpful and try techniques together, adjusting the plan based on what the person wants and how they respond. The focus is on collaboration and clear, achievable steps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain progress between appointments. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since current options can vary. Many people appreciate the convenience of remote meetings when juggling work, school, or caregiving, and therapists can adapt exercises and homework to fit everyday routines.
