Jessica Burnsworth

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings warmth, compassion, and authenticity into the therapy space. I’m soft, caring, and open-minded, and I believe people grow best when they feel genuinely seen and understood. I also believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. There's room for humor, honesty, and real conversation here. I primarily work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or uncertain about your next step, I strive to create a space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your strengths.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety or stress and develop practical tools to help you respond differently. I take a collaborative and strengths-based approach. While I provide compassion and support, I also gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns so meaningful change can occur. Therapy with me is active, goal-oriented, and tailored to your unique needs.

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, welcoming environment where we focus on getting to know you. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to gain from therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to understand your story, answer any questions you have, and begin identifying initial goals so we can create a clear direction for our work together. You’ll leave with a better sense of how we’ll move forward and whether the fit feels right for you.
