About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Temple uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people handle work stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and parenting strain. She is a psychologist licensed in Pennsylvania and Virginia with 12 years of experience. Her style is straightforward and focused on everyday problems that get in the way of life and work.
Her background is in clinical rehabilitation neuropsychology and she has a lot of experience supporting people living with chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, and thinking or memory difficulties. She also assists those facing compassion fatigue, concentration challenges, and sleep disruption. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to build skills for managing stress, improving sleep habits, and addressing workplace or caregiving demands. The approach is practical and tailored to each person’s daily life.
Dr. Temple works with concerns that often affect work and wellbeing, including workplace issues and life purpose questions. She supports people dealing with separation, isolation, chronic pain, and women’s health concerns as part of her broader practice.
If you are thinking about starting therapy, she encourages taking the first step and offers a calm, matter-of-fact working relationship. The focus is on small, useful changes that make day-to-day life more manageable.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters in their life. It can help with work stress, life purpose questions, and caregivers feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and concentration difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can support sleep, stress management, and compassion fatigue recovery. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Temple will talk with each person about their goals and daily routines, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and may mix elements from different approaches to suit real-world demands. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins during a work break, and remove travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let you focus on phone-based support rather than video. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills to work well in remote sessions when that matches a client’s needs.Areas of expertise
