About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting stress. Jessica aims to meet each person where they are and offer concrete tools to manage hard moments.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She asks questions, listens closely, and works with clients to spot strengths they can use right away.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills you can practice between meetings, not just talk about. Jessica draws on several approaches to shape treatment to the person. She uses techniques that help with stuck thinking, build emotional regulation skills, and encourage values-based action.
This mix supports people coping with grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes. She also focuses on identity and relational concerns, including LGBT matters, gender dysphoria, and communication problems. Jessica supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, and issues around attachment and forgiveness.
She brings attention to the whole person - feelings, behavior, and what matters most to them. For those unsure where to begin, she helps set clear goals and a simple plan. Sessions may include long-term exploration or short-term skill building depending on what the person wants.
Jessica encourages steady steps and practical strategies for coping and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone wants to move toward a clearer sense of purpose despite ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems stuck, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that are useful when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that seem promising, and adjust as needed. This process helps shape a plan that fits the individual rather than forcing one way of working.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match life demands. Video is useful for richer interaction, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be shorter check-ins or help between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other obligations while keeping a steady course of care.
