About Zereana
Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with individuals 13 and older on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions are practical and education-focused. She emphasizes behavioral activation so clients leave with clear steps to try between meetings. Sessions build skills gradually, with practices to use in daily life and short-term goals to track progress.
Dr. Jess-Huff blends several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among the methods she uses. She describes her work as relatable and aimed at real-world changes rather than abstract theory.
She also focuses on process addictions such as shopping, gambling, and love addiction, and notes interest in women’s health and serving LGBTQIA people including some transgender individuals. Her background includes helping those facing abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family concerns, and behavior or mood disorders.
People who choose her can expect structured sessions that combine learning with practice. The goal is to increase coping skills and reduce distress through concrete actions and ongoing skill building.
Using EFT, attachment work and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and naming emotions and attachment patterns that shape relationships and behavior. It helps people identify feelings that are hard to name and understand how those feelings affect their connections and choices.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns and how they influence trust, closeness, and reactions under stress. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or recurring relationship problems.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes such as those targeted by behavioral activation.
Determining the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before and then test approaches that fit the client’s needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as work progresses.
