About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Schweigert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, self-esteem problems, and life changes that leave them unsure what comes next.
Jessica sees adults and young people for individual counseling and has worked with substance use concerns. She supports people dealing with attachment struggles, communication breakdowns, divorce or separation, and the fallout from domestic violence. She also addresses issues such as fertility concerns, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
Her approach blends psychodynamic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, abbreviated as ACT. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that started earlier in life and how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, and practicing actions that align with personal values in the present.
In sessions she helps people name recurring patterns, try new ways of responding, and build practical coping strategies. Conversations are direct and focused on what the person wants to change, and on small, manageable steps to move forward.
People who choose her often want to understand why certain problems keep returning and to find clearer steps for what to do next. To begin, prospective clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns that developed earlier in life and how those patterns affect current relationships and choices. This approach helps people who want to understand why certain problems keep returning and to change long-standing responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and practicing actions that match personal values. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, social phobia, low motivation, and navigating life transitions by focusing on what matters now.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh what they want to change, what has worked in the past, and which methods seem practical for their goals. Sessions can combine elements from both approaches as needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding being on camera when that helps someone stay focused. Licensed professionals often find that regular online sessions support steady progress while fitting into everyday schedules.
