Jessica Forero, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Jessica!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with women who feel everything deeply—the overthinkers, the emotionally sensitive, and those carrying more than others realize. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, OCD, and life transitions using evidence-based therapy tailored to their needs.

My focus

I primarily work with adult women experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, OCD, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while struggling internally with overthinking, self-doubt, or intense emotions.

My approach

I integrate CBT, DBT, ERP, attachment-based, and trauma-focused approaches. Together, we'll identify patterns that keep you stuck, build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and create meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, Christian faith and values can also be incorporated into treatment.

My communication style

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a space where you feel understood without judgment while also helping you move toward meaningful change. Sessions balance compassion, insight, practical tools, and occasional humor when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because I am fascinated by the ways people develop patterns, cope with adversity, and create change. I find it meaningful to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and build lives that feel more aligned with their values and goals.

My goals for you

Goal setting is collaborative and individualized. Together, we'll identify what matters most to you, create realistic treatment goals, and regularly evaluate progress. My aim is to help you develop skills and insight that support meaningful, lasting improvement beyond therapy.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your concerns, and identify goals for treatment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You don't need to have everything figured out—we'll work together to determine the best path forward. Faith integration is available upon request.
