About Jessica

Jessica Colocho is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, and relationship or parenting challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and practices from Hawaii with 12 years of experience. Jessica aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful.

She uses practical conversation to learn what is most pressing for each person. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, and plans are adjusted as needs change.

Background and approach

Jessica values compassion and sensitivity in how she listens and responds. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method for relationship work. She weaves these methods together to address issues like grief, sleeping problems, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Jessica also supports people dealing with addiction, family problems, communication struggles, and the stress that comes with first responder work or end-of-life caregiving. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, gender concerns, and feelings of isolation. When starting, she tailors the plan to what the person wants to change and what feels doable.

Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, steady steps. The goal is to build tools you can use in daily life while honoring your values and goals.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels, which often helps with depression, sleep problems, and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and follows the person’s lead to build insight and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jessica will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. She may combine elements from different approaches over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between sessions.
