Jessica Winn, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person.
Then she uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand, including existential ideas about meaning, attachment-focused work around relationships, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Her background spans many settings. She has worked in schools, group homes, substance use clinics, psychological assessment offices, and partial hospitalization programs. She has also supervised clinicians and taught behavioral sciences at the university level for several years.
Dr. Winn has experience with a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar conditions. She also addresses practical issues like sleep, eating, career strain, and communication problems.
In sessions she helps people name what’s hard, try small changes, and make decisions that fit their values. Her style balances empathy with clear, action-oriented steps. People leave with things to practice between visits and a plan for moving forward.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. In online sessions this might look like talking through what matters to someone right now and how they want their life to look, which can help with emptiness, life changes, and motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present connections. Through video or messaging, a therapist helps people notice patterns in their relationships and try different ways of relating that build safety and closeness over time.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering reflection and support while the person decides goals and next steps. This approach is useful for self-esteem, grief, and navigating confusing choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which mix of approaches feels most helpful for the client’s situation.
Online therapy with Dr. Winn is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls can fit into a work break and use less bandwidth, live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular sessions and follow through on work between meetings.
