Jessica Van Horn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with eight years of professional experience. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation. She encourages clients to build on their strengths and take concrete steps toward a more satisfying life.

Jessica centers sessions on what each person brings to the room. She listens for practical goals and works with clients to set small, achievable steps. Conversations focus on coping skills, clearer communication, and improving daily routines that affect mood and relationships.

Her work includes attention to eating and food-related issues alongside challenges such as body image, substance use, and chronic illness. Jessica also supports people working through relationship strain, family of origin concerns, and life transitions like separation or adoption-related questions.

She favors a collaborative style that respects the client as the expert in their own story. Jessica aims to boost confidence and motivation through steady encouragement and problem-solving. Sessions often emphasize real-world habits and skills people can use between meetings.

Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on practical change. Jessica invites people to take the first step and offers steady support as they try new strategies and rebuild routines.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-life changes. One common approach involves building coping strategies and problem-solving steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and support recovery from substance use or addictive behaviors. This helps people develop routines and small habits that make daily life easier. Another focus is addressing body image and eating-related concerns through gradual behavior changes and self-awareness work that target triggers and improve mealtime routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps most, so the process feels tailored and cooperative rather than fixed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs lower-bandwidth options. A conversation during intake will clarify which formats are offered and how they can best support your day-to-day life.
