I’m Jessica Aston, LCSW, a compassionate and goal-oriented therapist offering telehealth services through the Headway platform for Connecticut residents. My practice is rooted in the belief that with the right support, insight, and tools, anyone can create lasting positive change. I work with individuals and families who are ready to navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and discover practical strategies for growth and fulfillment.
My therapeutic approach is goal- and solution-focused, designed to help you identify what’s standing in the way of your progress and how to move forward with clarity. I strive to bring empathy, care, and compassion to each session—along with an upbeat and encouraging energy that empowers you to take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

Session Setup
Free 15-Minute Consultation Call: A brief introductory call to discuss your needs, answer questions, and ensure we’re a good fit before scheduling your first session.
Intake/Initial Session (60 minutes): A comprehensive session where we’ll explore your background, current challenges, and treatment goals to create a plan tailored to your needs.
Ongoing Therapy Sessions (50-60 minutes): Regular weekly or biweekly sessions focused on working through goals, navigating challenges, and building long-term strategies for growth and well-being.
What to Expect from Our Sessions
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong foundation for our work together. We’ll discuss your background, goals, and what brought you to therapy, while reviewing confidentiality, expectations, and how the therapeutic process can best support your needs.
Therapy is a fluid and evolving process—as new perspectives and insights develop, we’ll adapt your treatment plan to reflect your growth and goals. Each session provides a safe, collaborative space to explore challenges, build coping strategies, and celebrate progress toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
