Getting to know Jessica Kotsakis

Hi there! My name is Jessica Kotsakis, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, providing statewide telehealth services. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in anxiety, trauma, depression, adjustment disturbances, and adversity. My approach focuses on supportive compassion, skill-based psychoeducation, and strengthening relationships between individuals and their supports. I believe in the power of healing and resiliency through relationships. Utilizing a variety of evidence-based interventions, we will engage in a supportive therapeutic alliance to identify and expand upon pre-existing skill sets and natural strengths. My therapeutic approach centers on a person-centered, strength-based mindset focused on instilling hope and support during times of uncertainty. Modalities I provide include cognitive behavioral therapy (including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy), dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. My style and approach are best suited for adolescents and adults who are experiencing transition, feeling uncertain, or addressing adverse life events. This may be experienced as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma symptomology, and/or behavioral disruptions. I have extensive experience addressing both high acuity needs and day-to-day challenges. My communication style is upbeat and empowering. Drawing on a strengths-based perspective, I strive to connect with your passions and innate abilities. I have been in the social work field for the last two decades, focused on children and families. I have experience providing therapy in school settings as well as outpatient clinics. I also have extensive knowledge of child welfare and trauma, having worked within hospital systems and a broad range of child welfare services. I am passionate about connection and healing.
