Professional statement

Jessica Favata is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with preteens, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and burnout. She provides a supportive and compassionate space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Jessica especially enjoys helping adolescents and young adults build confidence, improve communication skills, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop healthier coping strategies during important stages of life.

With over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, and families in education, along with experience as both a school counselor and therapist, Jessica brings a warm, relatable, and practical approach to counseling. Her background allows her to understand the unique pressures students, parents, and young adults face academically, socially, and emotionally. She is passionate about helping clients feel less alone while learning how to navigate challenges in a healthier and more balanced way.

Jessica’s counseling style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and strength-based. She integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness techniques, to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She believes therapy should feel like a safe and supportive partnership where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight, and create meaningful change at their own pace.

Jessica offers virtual counseling sessions and strives to create a welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable showing up as their authentic selves. Her goal is to help clients develop resilience, healthier boundaries, emotional awareness, and confidence so they can move forward feeling more grounded, empowered, and hopeful.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you are used to handling everything on your own. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself without judgment. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy.

I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand their emotions, manage stress and anxiety, improve relationships, and build confidence in themselves and their decisions. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.

My hope is that through our work together, you will feel more empowered, balanced, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges and personal growth.
