Jessica's Story
A Case Study
Meet Jessica
Jessica* (not real name) is a 19-year-old college student.
Growing up, Jessica battled negative self-talk and self-defeating beliefs that were deeply rooted in her past. These struggles shaped her emotions and how she coped with stress. When she began college, these difficulties intensified, leading her to have panic attacks.
Initial Struggles and College Transition:
Jessica had been making some progress through previous therapy experiences, but her everyday stressors often took center stage, limiting the depth of her therapy sessions. That’s when she turned to our Oasis Support Counseling services, although she had her doubts.
Empowering Progress and Tailored Support:
Jessica’s experience with Oasis was transformative. In just a few sessions, she not only learned how to manage her emotions better, but also discovered a platform that complemented her therapy sessions.
Here’s how Oasis made a difference:
- Personalized Conversations: Jessica could direct conversations according to her needs.
- Healthy Coping Strategies: She delved into effective coping techniques and self-care practices.
- Increased Stress Tolerance: Jessica gained confidence in managing stress.
- Navigating Challenges: She developed skills to recognize and navigate tough situations.
With every session, Jessica’s resilience grew, reducing her reliance on weekly therapy for day-to-day stress management.
Continued Growth and Looking Ahead:
While challenges continue to emerge, especially during demanding academic periods, Jessica now has the tools to navigate these moments. Oasis Support Counseling services have been instrumental in fueling her personal empowerment and providing essential support for lasting change. By challenging her self-doubts and fostering healthier coping strategies, Jessica is on a path of personal growth and improved therapy outcomes.
Quote from Alex Waitt
Executive Director of Clinical Operations
“In my role overseeing clinical operations, it’s rare to witness such profound progress in a relatively short span. Our interactions with Jessica underscore the immense potential of supplementary support systems like Oasis Support Counseling. Not only did Jessica find herself less reliant on therapy to navigate her week-to-week struggles, but she also unlocked deeper layers of self-awareness and healing. This enabled her to fully immerse in therapy as it’s ideally intended. Our engagement with Jessica reinforced my belief that within every individual lies an intrinsic desire to self-heal, to care for oneself in ways that resonate with one’s authentic self. Her gratitude towards our team was not just a testament to her journey but also a reflection of our mission: ensuring no one feels isolated in their therapeutic journey, and empowering individuals to unearth and cherish the treasures within.”
