Virtual / Telehealth Therapy
JESSICA VICARI, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey
Everyone strives to feel “normal”, however in today’s ever changing world, what is “normal”?
In my therapeutic practice, I work with individuals, couples, & families to break free of this desire to be normal and become the best versions of themselves.
We all suffer from some level of anxiety, trauma, depression, internal conflict, anger. The goal in therapy is to allow yourself to feel how you feel, while still in control of your life.

GET TO KNOW ME
As someone who has experienced a multitude of psychological events in life, my resiliency and empathy allows me a unique perspective when working with individuals.
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2008 from New Jersey City University and my Masters in Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2012.
My experience ranges from many years as an Intensive In Community Counselor for the NJ System of Care ( Performcare), in various private and group practices, as well as intensive out patient programs.
Additionally, prior to the rise in mental health concerns due to Covid-19, I became part of a nation wide telehealth platform.

A BIT ABOUT THERAPY
According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.”
There are so many stigmas associated with seeking mental health help, but those walls are slowly being broken down to bring enlightenment to those who truly wish to obtain assistance.
Therapy is not an answer to problems. A therapist will not tell you how to live your life. The therapeutic practice allows you to navigate through difficult times with a friendly face holding your hand, judgement free.
