About Jessica
Jessica Sorbello is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns.

Her style is open and nonjudgmental. She creates space for people to talk about hard feelings and confusing thoughts. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clearer ways to respond to strong emotions.
Background and approach
Jessica draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking and build better coping habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools for worries, low mood, and impulsive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps with intense emotions and teaches skills for distress tolerance and better emotional regulation.
She also uses client-centered and motivational interviewing techniques to support each person's goals. Those methods prioritize the client's perspective and readiness to change while helping identify realistic next steps. Mindfulness practices are woven in to build grounding and present-moment awareness.
People come to her for a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar and mood challenges, and career or life transitions. She works to empower people to try new coping strategies and to track progress in ways that feel useful and doable.

How Jessica's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered work focuses on the person's goals and perspective. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a plan that fits what the person wants to change. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to shape their own priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, and impulsive choices. Online sessions use worksheets, goal setting, and homework to practice new skills between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with intense mood swings and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging is helpful for brief updates or ongoing support. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
