About Jessica
Jessica Stern is a New Hampshire psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, grief, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings three decades of clinical experience to sessions. Her style is straightforward and goal-focused, aimed at helping people make practical changes that matter.
Jessica blends talking therapy with tools people can use between sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - is one of the trauma-focused methods she includes when appropriate. Sessions emphasize collaboration.
Jessica works with each person to set clear goals and a plan that fits day-to-day life. She aims to keep work concrete so people can see progress in manageable steps. Over a 30-year career she has supported people facing issues such as parenting stress, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, midlife transitions, and serious health challenges like cancer.
She also helps with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and multicultural or immigration-related stresses. Her background includes long experience with Hispanic clients and bicultural communities, which informs bilingual work in English and Spanish. Jessica combines clinical knowledge with a direct, warm manner and a sense of humor to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and emotional safety. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify attachment patterns and try different ways of relating that feel healthier in current relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions the therapist and client track patterns, practice brief exercises, and use homework to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors between meetings.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process upsetting memories. When used online it involves guided attention and processing steps adapted for remote formats under the therapist's direction.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then recommend approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps tailor work to each person's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction while fitting work or family schedules. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is taxing. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, or coaching-style conversations between longer sessions.
