Jessica VanBuren Curtis, LCSW

Jessica VanBuren Curtis is an LCSW who focuses on grief, loss, and life transitions. She helps adults who have lost a loved one or who are supporting someone at the end of life. Her tone is steady and compassionate, and she aims to create a space where hard truths can be named and felt.

Jessica draws on 23 years of clinical experience to offer a warm, down-to-earth setting for honest conversation. Sessions concentrate on sorting through feelings, making sense of what happened, and finding practical ways to cope day to day. She prioritizes approaches that fit each person’s life and rhythms.

Work together might include identifying small, usable tools to manage stress and grief. She helps people find routines and strategies that return a sense of balance. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Jessica also focuses on caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life support, life purpose, self-love, and women's issues. That range helps when grief overlaps with health, caregiving, or major life shifts.

Her hope is that clients leave feeling a little lighter and more grounded. She aims to help people reconnect with who they are and build confidence for what comes next.

Therapeutic approaches and getting support online

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide grief work and life transitions. One common approach helps people name emotions, track how feelings change over time, and develop small daily practices to reduce overwhelm. This method is hands-on and focuses on what someone can do between sessions to feel steadier.

Another approach emphasizes coping skills for caregivers and those facing chronic illness or hospice situations. It centers on problem-solving, stress reduction, and creating routines that respect energy limits while preserving connection and meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving responsibilities, medical appointments, or tight schedules. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when days are busy and avoids travel time, which can be helpful when energy or time is limited.
