Jessica M. Brigante, LCSW
Virtual therapy for adults in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut
Support for the growth that happens behind the scenes.
The work no one applauds, but that changes everything.
Welcome!
Hi, I'm Jess! I’m an LCSW providing virtual therapy to adults in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
A lot of the people I work with are the ones holding everything together. The caregiver, the high-achiever, the person who keeps showing up for everyone else while quietly running on empty. If any part of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
I'm a mom of two, so I get it. Life is full. Time is short. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, your own needs end up at the bottom of the list.
My work focuses on anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and substance or alcohol use. I also have a real soft spot for supporting people through the parenthood journey — pregnancy, postpartum, and everything in between. Whatever you're carrying, I want to help you figure out what to do with it.
Quiet Growth Counseling reflects the kind of space I aim to offer. One that does not require urgency, performance, or having everything figured out. Therapy with me is about creating room to pause, process, and grow in a way that feels steady and sustainable.
How I can support you
You don't have to fit neatly into any category to reach out.
A few of the things I commonly work with:
Anxiety, chronic stress, and that constant feeling of being "on"
Pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood
Substance or alcohol use concerns
Relationship shifts and evolving roles
Bipolar disorder and mood-related challenges
Life transitions, identity questions, and burnout
I also have experience supporting people with developmental disabilities, memory impairment, and severe mental illness. I welcome clients from all backgrounds. Therapy here isn't about who you're "supposed" to be — it's about who you actually are.
My approach
Therapy with me feels less like a formal appointment and more like a really good conversation with someone who's genuinely in your corner.
I pull from CBT, ACT, interpersonal therapy, strengths-based work, and positive psychology, but I don't lead with frameworks. I lead with you. Your goals, your pace, your life.
I'm not here to tell you what to do or hand you a checklist. I'm here to help you see things from angles you might not have considered, find what's already working, and build from there. Humor has its place too. We're human.
You don't need the right words. You don't need a plan. You just need to show up.
What to expect
Individual therapy for adults
100% virtual sessions
A space that's honest, relaxed, and judgment-free
Practical tools when they help, room to just process when they don't
You don’t need a “perfect reason” to start therapy. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just needing support, that's more than enough to get started.
Insurance & payment
I accept many major insurance plans through third-party platforms such as Headway, SonderMind, Grow, and Talkspace. Private pay sessions are $150.
I'm happy to help you figure out your coverage before we even get started — just reach out and we'll sort it together.
Get in touch
If you’re interested in starting therapy or have questions about availability or services, I’d love to hear from you.
Virtual sessions currently available to residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
