Getting to know Jessica Vermaak

Hi there, I'm Jessica! My name is Jessica Vermaak, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor through the Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and MFT Board. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. My approach to therapy begins with client-centered care. I utilize various therapeutic frameworks to ensure that our sessions are collaborative. My approach The most common theoretical approaches I use to understand and treat my clients are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. When using CBT, I seek to address dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors by working together to change maladaptive thinking through cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, and behavioral experiments. With Mindfulness-Based Therapy, I incorporate mindfulness practices to foster greater awareness of the present moment, aiming to reduce stress and manage anxiety and depression. This is accomplished through Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. When using Solution-Focused Therapy, we emphasize solutions and client strengths rather than problems. This brief, goal-oriented approach uses techniques such as the Miracle Question, scaling questions, and identifying exceptions to the problem. While these approaches are common, I tailor therapy to each client’s needs and often combine other psychological theories to achieve their goals. My focus I have extensive experience treating substance abuse issues and dual diagnoses, including mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma.
