Jessica Vargas

I’m Jessica Vargas, LCSW, LISW, with Coastal Clarity Counseling. I provide virtual therapy for teens, adults, and couples throughout Florida and Ohio. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, or unsure of what comes next, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and find a way forward.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and adjustment concerns. My approach is warm, honest, and practical. I believe therapy should be collaborative—you shouldn’t feel like you’re being told what to do, but supported in finding what works for you.

Together, we’ll work to understand patterns, build confidence, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just need to be ready to take the first step.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should help you feel understood while also giving you the tools and confidence to handle the challenges in front of you.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused, strengths-based, and mindfulness-based techniques. I tailor these approaches to your goals, personality, and individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and patterns, identify what may be getting in your way, and develop realistic strategies you can use in everyday life. I won’t simply tell you what you should do. I’ll work alongside you to identify what matters most, build on the strengths you already have, and help you make meaningful, lasting changes.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable sharing what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what you’d like to change, and what you hope to get from therapy. Together, we’ll identify your goals and begin developing a plan that fits your needs. You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and confident about taking the next step.
