Jessica Paliswiat, LMHC

Jessica Paliswiat is a New York licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through what’s happening, notice unhelpful patterns, and build useful skills for managing strong feelings. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way day to day and on steps that can be tried between sessions.

Jessica draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. She mixes brief skill teaching with reflective conversation. That can mean learning techniques to reduce reactivity, practicing different ways to raise concerns, or clarifying practical goals for change.

She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, isolation, and substance use concerns. Jessica pays attention to how health and caregiving demands affect mood and behavior, and she helps clients develop routines and coping plans that fit real life.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear steps. Clients can expect a calm, focused approach that balances skill work with exploring values and motivation. Jessica helps people develop tools to manage anger and frustration so those feelings cause less disruption at home and work.
