About Gessica
Gessica Yearwood is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She uses a warm, respectful approach to help people build motivation, self-esteem, and clearer focus. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for someone juggling daily life.
Gessica blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools to address anxiety and depression. Sessions focus on real-world strategies for managing difficult thoughts and improving mood. She helps people identify small steps that move them toward goals and greater well-being.
Background and approach
For attention and focus concerns related to ADHD, she works on concentration, memory aids, and practical routines. When stress, anger, or sleep problems interfere with life, she offers coping techniques and behavior-focused work. Phobias and social anxiety are also part of her practice, with gradual, manageable steps to reduce avoidance.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Clients can expect clear goals and regular check-ins on progress.
Gessica brings six years of experience to her work as an LMHC. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. People seeking help begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine.
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring the conversation to each person. It focuses on understanding what matters to the client and building trust so they can set their own goals and make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills such as thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle phobias.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for regulating emotions and handling stress. It can be helpful for people who need strategies to manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose and adapt methods based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That process may combine listening-focused support with skill-based exercises and goal-setting.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face for deeper conversations, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching, or practicing skills between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
