About Jessica
Jessica Van Horn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and related concerns. Jessica also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues and family of origin issues.
She frames clients as experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can use day to day. Sessions tend to center on identifying patterns that keep problems repeating and testing small changes that produce clearer results. Jessica uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving during sessions.
Her work often addresses how early family roles and expectations still affect current choices and relationships. She helps people recognize those patterns, practice different responses, and set clearer boundaries when needed. This can include working through communication problems, codependency, or commitment doubts.
Jessica also supports people facing grief, parenting stress, and struggles with body image or chronic illness. For those dealing with substance use or eating-related concerns she offers focused, practical strategies to manage triggers and cravings. She aims to help people build steady coping skills rather than rely on quick fixes.
People can expect a direct, collaborative style that maps problems into manageable steps. Jessica asks about current life demands and helps plan small experiments to shift long-standing habits. She invites clients to track what works between sessions and to bring those results back for review.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Jessica uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing habits and thinking patterns. One approach helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and depression, such as breaking problems into smaller steps and practicing new responses in real situations. Another approach targets behaviors related to addictions and cravings, teaching coping tactics and relapse-prevention practices to reduce triggers and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then propose techniques to try. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed, so the plan changes if something is not working.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or medical appointments, and can reduce travel time. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. These practical choices help sessions fit into everyday life without assuming a single format.
