Jessica Reisinger
Temporary Licensed Mental Health Counselor
How I Help
I believe that seeking change isn’t about fixing something that is “broken,” but rather learning new ways to respond to life’s challenges. I do my best work with clients who are ready to get curious about their patterns and build a toolkit for resilience.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, primarily using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you become a “detective” of your own mind—exploring how your thoughts and feelings influence your actions. I also integrate tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to navigate big emotions, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to ensure you are always moving toward a life you value.
What it’s like to work with me
If you were to picture our sessions, imagine sitting at a kitchen table. It is a down-to-earth, supportive space where we can connect honestly and share a warm conversation—but with practical tools close at hand. My style is interactive and conversational; I am here to listen, but I also believe in rolling up our sleeves to find the strategies that work for you.
I strive to make complex ideas relatable, often using analogies, stories, and a bit of light humor to make the heavy stuff feel lighter. My goal for our first session is that you walk out the door feeling deeply understood and quietly hopeful, knowing that your story has found a safe place to land and you are no longer walking this path alone.

When I am not in the therapy room, you can usually find me enjoying the outdoors with my family or getting lost in a good book. I also love spending time in the kitchen baking something sweet to share.
