Jessica Montalto, LAC is a licensed associate counselor in New Jersey with Blue Nexus Counseling and Wellness, where she works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, grief, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and relationship conflict.

Jessica earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kean University and holds Level 1 certification in the Gottman Method. Her approach integrates CBT and DBT techniques, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation, allowing her to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Known for her authentic, gentle, and empathetic style, Jessica creates a supportive space where clients can explore both present challenges and deeper patterns. She believes therapy is not only a reflection of who you are today, but also a window into your past and the person you are becoming. She works collaboratively with clients, recognizing that while they hold the map, she walks alongside them in the journey.

Jessica has a special interest in supporting individuals transitioning into parenthood and couples seeking to strengthen communication. Inspired by her own postpartum experience, she is passionate about helping others feel less alone and more empowered in their healing.

Outside of her clinical work, Jessica is a wife, mother, and enjoys cooking. She offers both in-person and virtual sessions.
