Mrs Jessica Stebbins

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“An experienced Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in assisting adolescents and adults overcome struggles related to anxiety and trauma.”

About Me

I assist adolescents and adults in navigating struggles with anxiety and trauma. Drawing on my experience, I provide a safe, empathetic space where you can gently explore challenging emotions. Sessions unfold at your own pace, helping you process experiences and discover practical ways to build resilience. Clients appreciate my calm approach and the supportive environment, which allows them to find lasting stability.

Approach

My work centers on helping teens and young adults — and their families — move through hypervigilance, worry, and past hurts into steadier functioning. I offer in-person sessions on Merritt Island and secure online appointments in English, creating a predictable frame where we can slow things down. Sessions are paced by you, blending mindfulness, practical skill practice, relational exploration and EMDR to apply coping strategies in daily life. People navigating transitions, relationship strain, or lingering stress often find this way of working grounding and clarifying.
