Jessica Bassett, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for both CA and TX. When I meet with my clients, I respect that this is their journey, and I am grateful to help guide people through their issues. I focus on emotional processing while using techniques with strength-based therapy, while also incorporating CBT and other modalities as needed.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, families, and teens.

My approach

With strength-based therapy, I focus on the strengths the client(s) present with and help cultivate growth from those strengths. Within CBT, the techniques of emotional processing and challenging our negative thoughts are helpful to re-frame those thoughts that make us feel negative emotions.

My communication style

I look forward to creating a safe and nurturing environment for my clients that helps build a good rapport. When clients come into session with me, it feels easy and comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always wanted to help others, but did not know in what capacity. One day, I decided to volunteer for a Sexual Assault organization to help advocate for survivors. After that experience, I knew I wanted to be a therapist and be the person who can be supportive, empowering, and uplifting through difficult experiences in people's lives.

My goals for you

During the initial assessment, I like to discuss what type of goals they are looking for during their sessions. It helps direct future sessions. Sometimes during sessions, goals change too or goals are added on. That is ok! It happens that one goal may lead to another goal for us to work on together.
