About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. Jessica aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can take the first steps toward feeling better.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps that match a client’s goals. Jessica supports people through life changes, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and questions around identity and self-worth.
Her work draws on a few different approaches to fit what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and follow the client’s lead. She also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
For people processing traumatic events she includes techniques from EMDR alongside narrative and motivational styles when helpful. These are used to help process upsetting memories, rethink life stories, and find motivation for change. Jessica emphasizes collaboration so clients know why particular methods are chosen.
Her practice supports issues such as ADHD, anger, isolation, adoption and foster care questions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Jessica works to empower people to rebuild routines, repair communication, and move toward clearer goals.
Approaches you can try in online sessions
Jessica often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change stressful thinking patterns and build new routines. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and following the client’s priorities, which is useful for people who need a patient, accepting space to sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.When trauma is part of the story she may use elements of EMDR to support processing upsetting memories alongside narrative strategies that help reorganize how a person understands their past. The choice of methods is collaborative - the therapist will talk through options and help pick what fits each person’s goals and comfort level.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and allow for quieter surroundings or avoiding travel. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to your needs and help you find an approach that fits your life and goals.
