About Jessica
Jessica Senecal-Bennett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She practices from Massachusetts and brings a calm, straightforward approach to helping people through hard times. Jessica focuses on clear, practical steps and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Jessica helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She also addresses work-related strain, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, identity and intimacy issues, and challenges tied to caregiving or aging.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to family of origin issues, communication difficulties, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her style is rooted in client-centered care. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional responses and attachment patterns. Jessica also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods to build coping skills and practical strategies. Conversations often include problem-solving steps, behavioral experiments, and skill-building around boundaries and self-care.
The aim is to leave people with concrete tools they can use between sessions. Jessica works with people by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging, and she accepts international clients. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices from Massachusetts.

Online support
Emotion and Skill-Focused Care Online
Jessica blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns, helping people notice and shift responses that keep them stuck. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, using empathic listening and reflective conversation to help people feel heard and to guide their own change.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when useful to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT helps break cycles of worry or avoidance by practicing small, observable changes and tracking results. Together these approaches give both emotional insight and practical steps for daily life.
Finding the right mix is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions will be adjusted over time so techniques match what is helping most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face work when interaction matters. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat support brief reflections, skill practice, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied locations.
