About Jessica
Jessica Del Gaudio is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York. She brings seven years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. She aims to meet people where they are and build a plan that reflects their needs and goals.
Jessica listens with respect and a calm presence. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She adapts talk and tools to what each person finds most useful.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on emotional regulation, communication, and rebuilding self-esteem after losses or life transitions. She also supports people facing intimacy issues, eating and sleep struggles, and the ups and downs of mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. ADHD and caregiver stress are other common topics she addresses.
Therapeutic methods Jessica uses include cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based strategies, and approaches that explore attachment and relationship patterns. She incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need tools for strong emotions and impulse control. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Jessica works collaboratively to set an agenda and adjust the pace so clients feel understood and able to try new ways of coping.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps toward what matters. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, which can help with intimacy, trust, and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She revisits the plan as needed so strategies stay useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep progress between meetings.
