Jessica Lareau, LICSW

Jessica Lareau is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addiction, depression, relationship strain, grief, and career stress. Jessica also helps people facing parenting pressures and blended family issues that arise when households merge or roles shift.

Her approach mixes practical techniques and conversation. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Dialectical behavior tools and motivational interviewing help when emotions run high or motivation is low.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes. Jessica talks through what is getting in the way now and what might work better. She uses direct skills practice alongside deeper reflection about patterns that keep repeating.

Clients can expect steady, plainspoken feedback and concrete tools to try between meetings. She draws on a range of clinical approaches to match the problem at hand rather than relying on a single method.

Jessica trained and practiced in Massachusetts settings over more than a decade. That background includes work with people coping with addiction, caregiver stress, first responder strain, and complicated family dynamics. She offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients.
