About Jessica

Jessica Sorbello is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and other life changes. Her approach is straightforward and rooted in practical support for everyday challenges.

She creates an open space where clients can talk about feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding emotions and building alternative coping skills. Jessica emphasizes small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.

Her work often includes goal-focused conversations and tools to manage strong feelings. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control in daily life.

Jessica also attends to issues connected to identity and difficult personal histories, including adoption and foster care themes when they arise. She supports people dealing with eating and sleeping struggles, impulsivity, and communication problems, among other concerns.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the client's needs. She offers encouragement and practical skills alongside emotional support. People who want clear, down-to-earth guidance through hard times may find her approach helpful.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and helping people find their own solutions, which can work well in a conversational online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses practical exercises to change those patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills in clear, structured ways. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to help manage intense feelings and impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan together as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use visual tools, worksheets, and between-session practice in ways that support CBT and DBT skills work.
