About Jessica
Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 25 years in mental health work. She uses straightforward methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addictions, grief, sleeping and eating concerns, and parenting strain. Jessica emphasizes practical coping skills and clear steps that people can try between sessions.
Her background includes roles in transitional housing, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consulting, and supervising a family support program.
Background and approach
For the past seven years she has worked inside a jail setting, doing intakes, crisis intervention, suicide risk evaluation, and short-term counseling. That experience exposed her to a wide range of severe mental health diagnoses and taught her how to focus on immediate needs. In that environment she leaned on solution-focused strategies that point to small, achievable changes.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools to address anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and impulsive behaviors. Sessions often center on concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing risky behaviors. Jessica consults with medical staff about medication and physical health concerns when needed.
She is interested in expanding beyond the jail setting to meet people in different life stages and situations. Her style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people build routines that reduce daily stress. People who want clear steps and coping skills may find her approach helpful.
She offers services in English and works from Pennsylvania as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT teaches concrete steps to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong feelings and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jessica prefers to work with clients to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is working and what needs more focus so clients feel involved in shaping their care.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow sessions to fit around work, parenting, and busy days. Video is useful for longer skill work and visual cues, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, and chat or text is helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and keep momentum when schedules change.
