Jessica Saxton, LCSW

Jessica Saxton is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Jessica aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to change at their own pace.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize practical steps for coping and building motivation. Jessica adapts the pace and plan to fit a person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

Her background includes a decade of clinical work across a range of concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and caregiver strain. She also offers support around aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life questions, and life purpose concerns. These areas often overlap, and she helps people untangle what matters most right now.

Therapy with Jessica mixes evidence-informed tools with mindfulness and brief, goal-focused work. Clients can expect concrete strategies to manage symptoms, along with space to reflect on losses and transitions. The aim is to help people leave sessions with at least one manageable step to try.

Jessica speaks English and works with people who are navigating career challenges, compassion fatigue, seasonal mood changes, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. She encourages an open conversation about what goals look like and how therapy should fit into day-to-day life.

How Jessica Uses Practical Therapies Online

Jessica often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to help people notice stress and respond with less reactivity, which supports coping with grief, chronic illness, and caregiving strain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what feels useful.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional from another location when that is helpful. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into life while focusing on clear, actionable steps.
