Jessica Gerson, LICSW, LCSW

Reaching out for support is often the first courageous step toward meaningful change, and Jessica Gerson honors that decision by offering steady, experienced guidance. Whatever challenge has brought someone to therapy, she meets it with attentiveness and a commitment to helping people move forward.

She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Louisiana and Massachusetts; in Massachusetts that designation is known as LICSW. With ten years of clinical experience, she has worked as a psychotherapist with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of concerns.

Over the years she has supported individuals and families dealing with anxiety and depression, parenting challenging children, career difficulties, issues related to sexuality and gender identity, ADHD, life stress and work-life balance, relationship struggles, and other difficulties. Her clinical work brings together practical strategies and an understanding of the everyday challenges people face.

Having experienced anxiety and depression personally at different times, she combines professional training with personal insight into what can feel helpful in therapy. Her approach centers on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She aims to be a supportive and encouraging partner who learns about each person so that interventions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Jessica emphasizes building a toolbox of concrete skills and practices clients can use beyond sessions. The goal is to equip people to manage current struggles and to feel better prepared for future challenges, while working collaboratively to identify steps that align with each person’s values and goals.
