About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a licensed clinical social worker based in Colorado who offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and major life changes. She approaches each person with respect and sensitivity. Jessica aims to help clients find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
With 12 years of practice as an LCSW and CSW, she adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. Sessions focus on practical steps, exploring thoughts and patterns, and building skills that can be used between meetings. Jessica emphasizes collaboration and pacing that matches what the client needs.
Her work covers trauma and abuse as well as related issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, parenting stress, blended family dynamics, and the emotional impact of divorce or separation.
Jessica uses a mix of approaches to suit different goals. She draws from client-centered methods to center the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and narrative and motivational techniques to help people make sense of their stories and find motivation for change.
People looking for help with ADHD-related challenges, anger, self-esteem, or decision-making and commitment issues will find focused, practical conversation and goal-setting. Jessica keeps the work grounded and aims to leave clients with clear strategies they can try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. In sessions the therapist listens closely, follows your lead, and helps clarify what matters most to you. This approach supports people who want a therapist to respond to their immediate concerns and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method some clients use to process traumatic memories. It involves carefully guided steps to work with distressing memories and the reactions they trigger. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust based on how it feels and what the client needs. That collaborative process helps choose techniques that fit the person's situation and comfort level.
