About Jessica

Jessica Otton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Jessica listens first and helps people find practical steps to feel safer and more in control.

She trained at Florida Gulf Coast University, earning both a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. Much of her career has been in medical social work, with long experience in hospice care across in-patient, home, and nursing home settings.

Background and approach

She has also worked in substance abuse rehabilitation and independent practice settings. Jessica uses an attachment-based perspective alongside client-centered care to build a trusting relationship. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and set small, achievable goals.

Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce stress in the moment. Her background includes supporting people dealing with end-of-life issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and co-occurring concerns such as substance use and mood disorders. She also has experience with anger, parenting strain, relationship challenges, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions Jessica aims to work as a team with each person to define clear goals and practical steps. Her style is grounded and strengths-based, focused on what people can try between sessions to notice real change. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotion. It helps people notice familiar interaction styles and try new ways of relating that feel safer. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, simple practices to lower stress, improve focus, and respond more calmly to strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as you progress. Together you can blend attachment perspectives, CBT techniques, or mindfulness exercises so the work matches what you want to change.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face without traveling, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady momentum toward your goals.
