About Jessica
Jessica Otton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience based in Florida. She completed both her Bachelor and Master of Social Work at Florida Gulf Coast University and has spent much of her career in medical social work and hospice settings. Jessica also has experience in substance abuse rehabilitation and independent practice, which shapes her practical, down-to-earth approach.
She helps people facing stress and anxiety find clearer ways to cope.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with grief, life changes, depression, and anger. Sessions focus on building a working relationship and setting straightforward goals together. Jessica uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to identify patterns and try small, useful changes.
She also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to make space for how relationships and past experiences affect current feelings. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they can help with self-regulation and stress relief. Her background in hospice and medical social work means she has experience with chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and aging-related issues.
She has worked with people affected by addiction, both court-ordered and voluntary, and understands the practical challenges that brings. In sessions, Jessica aims to be collaborative and strengths-focused. The work is organized around the client’s goals with concrete steps to try between meetings.
She invites people to bring what matters most and to move at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small, practical changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress when clear steps are needed to shift daily routines and reactions.She also draws on client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Those perspectives focus on listening, building trust, and understanding how relationships shape emotions, which can be helpful for grief, relationship concerns, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, while short text check-ins or live chat can help with brief follow-ups. Video calls are available for longer conversations that benefit from face-to-face interaction.
