Jessica Hervatin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, straightforward style to therapy. She frames conversations around what you want to change and helps people take small, practical steps toward those goals. Jessica emphasizes meeting each person where they are and moving at a pace that feels manageable.

She has worked in mental health for decades, including roles as an employee assistance counselor, a drug and alcohol counselor, and a crisis counselor. Her background also includes work with psychiatric disorders and time supporting people who were incarcerated. That variety has shaped a flexible, experience-based approach to care.

Jessica draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation when needed. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support change in areas like addiction and lifestyle habits.

Across a long career she has helped people with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiver stress. She also lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and can address concerns related to life purpose, isolation, and personality challenges.

Jessica currently practices in Pennsylvania and works as a mental health therapist in a local hospital. Her style is open and encouraging, and she invites people to take the first step when they feel ready.

How Jessica's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. In this approach the therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps shape sessions around those priorities, which can be useful for issues like life purpose, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises and tools to shift thinking and build new routines, which many people find helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She discusses options and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversational and skills-based work remotely, which can be effective for emotional coping, relapse prevention, and managing stress and isolation.
