Jessica Busekist

Jessica Busekist is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a practical, person-focused style to sessions. Jessica aims to help people identify their needs and choose steps that fit their life and goals.

She centers sessions on the client. Jessica listens first, then helps set achievable goals together. She offers help for stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, and for relationship and family concerns. She also supports people working through grief, trauma, addiction, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder.

Jessica uses straightforward tools and collaborative planning. That can mean short-term skill building, motivation-focused conversations, or working through past hurts with trauma-focused techniques. She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation and loneliness.

People who struggle with self-esteem, guilt, shame, or social anxiety can expect a calm, respectful space to talk and practice new ways of coping. Jessica pays particular attention to life transitions and compassion fatigue that come with caring roles. She encourages practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Her approach is flexible rather than prescriptive. Jessica helps clients test strategies, track what works, and adjust the plan over time. If you want a therapist who focuses on your priorities and supports steady progress, she may be a good fit.

Approach options that translate to remote work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and building a plan that fits your life. It emphasizes listening, reflective feedback, and collaborative goal-setting to help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that works on processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. It can be used for post-traumatic stress and lingering traumatic effects when a client and therapist decide it fits the work.

Finding the right method is part of therapy. Jessica works together with each person to choose approaches based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting course when something isn’t working.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapeutic work is more consistent. A collaborative plan will include practical steps to bring therapy into everyday life.
