About Jessica
Jessica Colangelo is a Massachusetts licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career questions, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also focuses on abandonment and attachment issues, social anxiety and phobia, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose concerns.
Jessica works from the view that each person knows their story best. She treats sessions as a place to talk through what matters now and what feels stuck. Practical steps and clear goals often show up alongside space to sort out feelings and patterns.
Her approach mixes client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. That means she listens to how a person sees things, then helps identify unhelpful thoughts and emotional patterns. Sessions can include problem-focused work and short-term strategies when clients want concrete changes.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are also part of her method. These approaches support decision-making and help people find small, doable next steps. Jessica aims to keep sessions straightforward and oriented to the client’s everyday life and concerns.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s goals. This style helps when someone is unsure what matters next or needs space to sort thoughts.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and work or relationship problems.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape interactions and internal patterns. It aims to help people identify core emotions and the ways they respond, which can clarify attachment and relationship concerns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The client and therapist decide together whether to emphasize CBT, EFT, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused techniques based on the issue at hand.
The therapist’s practice uses a subscription model and requires completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session. The specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to appointments.
