About Jessica
Jessica Senecal-Bennett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, and also holds an LCSW credential. She has 25 years of experience in mental health and works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and relationship or workplace difficulties. Jessica practices in Massachusetts and offers services in English.
Jessica focuses on practical, conversational therapy. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions often include skill-building for sleep, coping with life changes, setting boundaries, and handling compassion fatigue.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across community and clinical settings. That experience shapes a straightforward approach to therapy rather than relying on jargon. She draws on a mix of methods and selects tools that fit the problem at hand.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the approaches Jessica uses to look at difficult emotions and relational patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in concrete ways.
Clients sometimes bring concerns like caregiving stress, codependency, intimacy-related issues, family of origin questions, or the emotional aftermath of disasters and domestic violence. Jessica also supports people coping with bipolar disorder, abandonment worries, and first responder stress.
For starting, Jessica asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are accepted.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with strong emotions and relationship patterns. It is useful when feelings are hard to identify or relationships feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and uses listening and reflection to help people make sense of their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws from different approaches so clients can try options and see what helps most for their concerns.
