About Jessica
Jessica Colocho is a licensed clinical social worker in Hawaii who focuses on helping people make real changes in their lives. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and stress. She also supports people coping with relationship and communication challenges, parenting strain, and the long-term effects of trauma.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps set clear, doable goals. Sessions mix problem-solving with skills to manage strong emotions, rebuild routines, and improve day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Jessica draws from several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. That can mean using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and grow willingness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, or Gottman Method ideas when talking about relationship patterns. She also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is a focus.
Over 12 years she has worked with people facing addiction, family conflict, first responder stress, immigration-related challenges, end-of-life concerns, and identity questions including gender dysphoria. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and to tailor conversations and plans to the person in front of her. Therapy with her is collaborative.
She helps clients identify what matters, build small steps toward change, and track progress along the way. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jessica uses the Gottman Method to help people recognize recurring patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of communicating and reconnecting. Gottman-informed conversations focus on specific interactions and small, repeatable changes that can improve how partners relate.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify and shift thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences with each person and tailor methods to what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other obligations.
