Jessica Paliswiat, LMHC

Jessica Paliswiat, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York, has eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship and family concerns. Her stated approach uses client-centered and evidence-based methods such as ACT, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing to help people cope and build skills.

She focuses on practical coping strategies. Sessions include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways to manage feelings and behavior. Jessica emphasizes collaboration and clear goals in therapy rather than theory-heavy explanations.

Her background includes work with people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses communication problems, isolation, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. The work often blends skills practice with values-based decision making.

Jessica uses approaches that aim to increase awareness, reduce avoidance, and improve emotional regulation. Techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to change thinking and coping habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take practical steps toward those values.

Clients can expect a steady, goal-oriented process. Sessions tend to include collaboration on goals, skill-building exercises, and follow-up between visits when useful. Jessica works in English and practices as an LMHC in New York.
