About Jessica
Jessica Hartman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years in mental health. She practices in Minnesota and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, anger, and related issues.
Hartman uses a person-centered way of working. She listens for each person's strengths and builds on what already works. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused steps to help people manage thoughts and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her background includes a BA in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. She has provided counseling in schools, day-treatment programs, in-home settings, outpatient clinics, and virtual sessions. She has worked in both rural communities and larger cities including the Twin Cities and Phoenix, Arizona.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills for coping with strong feelings, handling conflict, and moving through life transitions. She helps people notice thought patterns that feed anger or anxiety and then practices alternative responses together. The work often includes short, concrete exercises and problem-solving steps to use between meetings.
Jessica also supports people who identify as LGBT and those navigating women's issues or young adult concerns. Her approach aims to be respectful and direct, with attention to clear goals and small, measurable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and recognizing a person's existing strengths. In an online setting this means the therapist helps the client name goals, notice what already helps, and use that as the starting point for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically include practical exercises, thought records, and planned behavioral experiments to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide whether person-centered listening, CBT tools, or solution-focused steps best match their goals and preferences. The choice can shift as needs change; she treats the plan as a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the profile indicates she has provided virtual sessions but does not list every option here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commute time. They also let people use written exercises or screen-shared worksheets during the appointment to practice skills in real time.
