About Jessica
Jessica Sorbello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions and grief, and address anger and self-esteem concerns. Jessica also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, career stress, ADHD, mood conditions, and other life changes.
Her approach centers on clear, practical work in the room. Jessica uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness tools appear when learning emotion regulation and moment-to-moment coping skills are useful.
Sessions focus on learning skills and testing small changes between meetings. Jessica talks through emotions, identifies triggers, and practices alternatives to reacting in old ways. For people wrestling with anger, that often means building breathing and grounding steps, spotting escalation signs, and rehearsing different responses.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify priorities and strengthen motivation for change. That method can help with substance use, procrastination, and other areas where a person feels stuck. Jessica balances practical techniques with time to talk about meaning, loss, and the reasons behind strong reactions.
People looking to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and follow her practice policies for fees and scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings into sessions and on listening closely to their priorities. Online sessions can use that approach to set goals that feel relevant and manageable for daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify thought patterns that lead to strong reactions and then practice different behaviors. It works well for anger that shows up at work or home because it breaks problems into small, testable steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal tools for managing escalation and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the first meetings. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust as progress is observed. That means trying skills in real situations and refining what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow practicing skills in everyday settings so techniques transfer to real life.
