About Jessica
Rev. Jessica Conti is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who blends practical therapy with a gentle, human-centered manner. She brings 17 years of experience to work with parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people manage everyday problems and painful events. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice what matters and change patterns that cause suffering.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness tools are woven into sessions so clients feel heard and can practice calmer responses to hard moments. The work often includes looking at relationships, boundaries, and communication. Conti has a long background in clinical settings and brings practical skills for addressing eating and body-image concerns, addiction-related struggles, and sleep problems.
She also supports people coping with trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Career stress, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress are common topics she helps people sort through. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.
That can mean learning new coping skills, trying small behavior changes, or using mindfulness practices between meetings. Jessica emphasizes pacing the work to match each person’s situation and energy. Her practice offers several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
People in Florida can connect in English for flexible scheduling and ongoing support.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to notice thoughts and commit to changes that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; through video or messaging a therapist can guide practical experiments and homework to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what the person finds useful. That collaborative process aims to match skills and exercises to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and practice new skills consistently.
