Jessica HartmannLICSW

Jessica Hartmann is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, postpartum concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth related worries. She supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, caregiving burden, and challenges with self-esteem or ADHD. Her style is warm and direct and focused on practical steps that fit daily life.

Hartmann trained at Simmons School of Social Work, graduating in 2017, and gained her Massachusetts LICSW in 2020. She has eight years of experience offering individual therapy in hospitals, schools, legal settings, primary care, and community agencies. That mix of clinical and real-world experience shapes how she approaches care.

Sessions emphasize getting to know each person's story before deciding what to try. Hartmann uses client-centered pacing so each person can move at a comfortable speed. She offers coping skills, behavior-focused strategies, and space to process painful memories or loss.

When trauma or attachment issues are present she incorporates trauma-focused and attachment-based ideas to help people make sense of patterns in relationships and safety. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and to build different responses.

People who meet with her can expect practical tools paired with time to reflect. She aims to help clients build routines and strategies they can use between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns and practice new responses to closeness and care. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's pace, letting the therapist match support to what someone needs most in the moment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which often translates well into short exercises and between-session tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use, based on goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That plan can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use phone or video depending on what works best. It also lets people practice skills in their usual routines and bring real-life moments into conversation with the therapist.
