Jessica Hartman, LISW

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in the state of Ohio, and I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Ohio University. But more than that, I’m someone who’s here to listen, support, and walk with you through whatever you’re facing.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself, you’re not alone. Maybe you're going through something painful or uncertain, or maybe you're carrying old wounds that still show up in your day-to-day life. A lot of people start therapy not with a clear goal, but with a sense that something needs to change—and that’s more than enough to begin.

I work with adults and teens (12+) who are trying to make sense of what they’re feeling and find a way forward. That might mean untangling long-standing patterns, working through trauma, navigating relationships, or simply learning how to be a little kinder to yourself. My role is to offer support, tools, and perspective—but also to create space where you can feel understood and accepted as you are.

My approach is flexible and collaborative. I use EMDR when we need to work with trauma or stuck memories, ACT to help you stay connected to your values even when life gets hard, and mindfulness-based strategies to build awareness and balance.

Therapy with me is grounded, warm, and real. I show up as a human first—not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who’s here to help you figure things out on your terms. There’s room for honesty, messiness, and even humor along the way.

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.
