About Jessica
Jessica Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, caregiving strain, ADHD concerns, and identity-related stress within LGBT communities. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Sessions focus on real problems and useful steps forward. Jessica draws on about 10 years of clinical experience working with adults and caregivers. She blends Attachment-Based Therapy with cognitive and behavioral techniques to address how past connections shape current feelings and reactions.
Background and approach
This helps people notice patterns and try different ways of relating and coping. Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals.
Sessions often include skill-building for sleep, emotion regulation, and communication, along with space to process loss and life changes. Jessica has particular experience supporting people dealing with caregiving, dementia-related stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses abandonment, codependency, family of origin issues, and the complex grief that can follow pet illness or surrender.
Based in Wisconsin, Jessica uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as appropriate. Her work aims to increase daily functioning, clarify values, and reduce the hold that old patterns have on present life.
People who choose her can expect steady, practical guidance focused on respectful listening, real-life strategies, and gradual change toward goals that matter to them.

Online support
How attachment and action-focused therapies work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Online work can help people notice those patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and reduce upsetting reactions in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to act in line with personal values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, check what’s working, and adjust the plan as needed so progress fits real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, work, and daily responsibilities while still using attachment, ACT, or CBT techniques.
