About Jessica
Jessica Van Horn is a licensed social worker in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those facing addiction concerns and people dealing with relationship or intimacy-related issues. Jessica recognizes that each person knows their own story best and brings a supportive, straightforward presence to sessions.
Her approach starts with listening and helping people name what matters to them. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills for managing strong feelings and making practical changes. Sessions focus on clear goals, step-by-step problem solving, and strengthening the client’s own resources.
Jessica often works with people processing loss, adoption and foster care concerns, and family of origin issues. She also helps with body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems. When substance use or domestic violence are part of the picture she addresses those matters directly and practically.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She encourages clients to try small changes between sessions and to notice what helps. Progress is measured in concrete steps rather than abstract promises.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. She provides services in English for people located in Michigan.
How Jessica Uses Practical, Evidence-Based Methods Online
Jessica relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes learning coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and breaking problems into smaller steps to reduce overwhelm. This approach helps people gain immediate tools to manage difficult moments.Another approach centers on building motivation and improving self-esteem through goal-setting and behavioral experiments. Clients try small changes between sessions, then review what worked and adjust the plan. That method is useful for issues like depression, low confidence, and recovery from substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will change course if something isn’t helpful. The therapist frames progress as gradual and practical, not one-size-fits-all.
