I've been working with Donna for two years, and it's no exaggeration to say our sessions have been life-changing. I first sought therapy to become a better father and refocus on my career goals, but her guidance has transformed every area of my life. With Donna’s help, I’m breaking patterns like perfectionism, impatience, anger, and self-sabotage while building a life of purpose. Our work is a true collaboration, she tailors her techniques to my needs and meets me with the perfect blend of empathy, encouragement, and accountability. I can't recommend her highly enough!

More about Donna Jessen, LCSW

I have over 27 years of experience, initially focusing on medical social work. Since then, I have worked in child welfare, including roles in CPS and the Child Abuse Hotline in DC. This background has given me extensive experience in crisis intervention, depression, child abuse/trauma, anxiety, substance use, OCD, and domestic violence. I hold a Master's in Social Work from The University of Alabama. In recent years, I have provided virtual therapy to individual clients. When working with clients, I believe in allowing them to take the lead throughout the process, using a collaborative approach. I treat everyone with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. My approach is somewhat eclectic, tailored to each client's needs, and incorporates solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques. I like to envision therapy as redesigning a home: starting with the foundation, using old tools and discovering new ones, perhaps moving a wall or two-all to create the life you envision. I'm part of Resolute, a practice offering high-quality, insurance-covered therapy and psychiatry, with comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. For additional help, reach out to the Resolute support team. I look forward to meeting you!
