Jessica Krock, MSW, LCSW

Jessica is a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology and minored in Gender and Women’s studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Jessica has worked in the mental health field for 8 years in a variety of settings with teens, young adults, adults, parents, and couples. She enjoys guiding her clients as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, parenting struggles, eating disorders, OCD, trauma, and sexuality/LGBTQ+ issues.

Jessica utilizes Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) primarily, with a mixture of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness interventions. She believes a ‘one size fits all’ approach does not meet clients where they are. Jessica is particularly interested in working with those experiencing perinatal and postpartum challenges, perfectionism, and those who identify as highly sensitive.

Within the therapeutic relationship Jessica is collaborative, relatable, flexible, and inclusive. She understands everyone is the expert of their own experience and welcomes their opinions on what they feel they need. Jessica has both a nurturing and direct approach, displaying patience with the process of treatment and providing a safe relationship with clients. She keeps client’s goals and values in mind, helping hold them accountable for the change they desire, and moving them closer toward a rich and meaningful life.

In her spare time Jessica enjoys spending time in nature with her husband and toddler, playing with her cats, biking, practicing yoga, baking, and crocheting.
