Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff , LMFT

Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, and life transitions. She blends evidence-based strategies with practical skill-building so clients leave sessions with clear plans and exercises to try between visits.

Her clinical focus includes adolescents 13 and older, ADHD, CPTSD, depression, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorder, and she is trained to treat behavioral process disorders such as shopping addiction, gambling addiction, and love addiction. She also addresses a wide range of concerns including family and relationship difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder and substance-related problems.

Dr. Jess-Huff maintains a strong interest in women’s health and in working with LGBTQIA individuals, including those who identify as transgender. She aims to create sessions that are educational, practical, and empowering, supporting each person as they build skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward their healthiest life.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff uses several proven approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and behavior, helping clients improve connection, trust, and communication in important relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own goals and pace, creating a collaborative environment where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-discovery and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with concrete skills and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Jess-Huff works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This ensures therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate varied schedules and communication styles. These formats allow continuity of care across distances and life changes, making it easier to build skills and apply them consistently in everyday life.
