Dr. Jessica Schweigert

Dr. Jessica Schweigert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, family conflict, and the stress that follows major life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, substance use concerns, and the emotional fallout from separation and divorce.

Her work blends attention to life history with practical skills for the present. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build present-focused awareness and workable coping strategies. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language rather than jargon.

Jessica has nine years of professional experience. That background includes adult individual counseling and work with children and adolescents alongside experience addressing substance use disorders. She focuses on listening carefully, helping people name painful feelings, and testing small changes that can feel manageable.

People who come to her often want straightforward tools and a clearer sense of direction. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and strengthen self-compassion. Progress is practical and paced to each person’s needs.

Her approach aims to combine understanding with action. Clients and therapist work together to identify goals and try methods that fit day-to-day life. Those interested in starting are invited to take the next step through the site’s matching process.

How psychodynamic work and ACT translate to online therapy

Psychodynamic-informed work focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. It involves gentle reflection on how past experiences shape present responses, helping people notice habits they want to change and understand why they form.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes building present-moment awareness and identifying personal values. It teaches simple skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, then choosing actions that align with what matters most in life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences rather than assuming a single method up front.

If you are considering online work, confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and avoid travel time. They can also let someone continue consistent care through life transitions while trying skills between sessions.
