About Jessica
Jessica Colangelo is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, career strain, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and family matters. She also focuses on abandonment, attachment issues, loneliness, life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia.
Jessica uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people name and respond to strong emotions. She respects that each person knows their life best and begins by listening to what matters most. Sessions are straightforward conversations that look at feelings, patterns, and what feels stuck.
Her approach mixes practical steps with an eye on emotions and relationships. That can mean spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors between sessions, and noticing how attachment needs show up in daily life. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform short-term goals and moments of change.
Jessica aims to make sessions useful and understandable. She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and track small progress over time. She encourages people to use their strengths when facing hard choices or losses.
Clients interested in working together begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How Jessica blends EFT and practical therapy online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with strong emotions and the ways they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice attachment needs and respond differently to intense feelings.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building from the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and supports the person in identifying what matters most in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers tools for testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will discuss what seems most useful based on your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go. That way the work fits how you prefer to reflect and make change.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when needed, and the option to avoid travel time. These points can make regular work on stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, or grief easier to maintain while juggling everyday responsibilities.
