About Jessica
Jessica Futoran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. She focuses on supporting people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and parenting challenges. She brings a direct and warm style to sessions and aims to help clients notice strengths they already have.
Jessica uses clear, practical methods to help people feel steadier in daily life. She pays attention to how thoughts and habits affect mood and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often include setting small, doable goals and trying strategies between meetings. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused work. That means the therapist asks about what matters most to the client, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and highlights immediate steps the client can try.
This mix is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, trauma-related concerns, and difficulty with self-esteem. Jessica describes herself as open to clients who bring spiritual perspectives and also to those who prefer a nonspiritual approach. She aims to adapt to each person's values and pace.
The first meetings typically focus on understanding current struggles and setting clear, achievable goals. People choose her for straightforward guidance and steady support when life feels overwhelming. She works with many concerns tied to relationships, mood disorders, trauma and coping with big life changes.
Her style is conversational, goal-oriented, and focused on helping clients make practical, incremental changes.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name priorities to guide sessions. This approach is helpful when people need a steady, respectful space to sort out feelings and values.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build healthier habits, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals. It is useful when someone wants practical, short-term strategies to manage parenting stress, relationship problems, or work challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and personal preferences, then recommend and try methods that fit. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for quick check-ins or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep consistent work on goals.
