Jessica Orndoff, LCSW-C

Jessica Orndoff is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Maryland with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and challenges related to ADHD and mood disorders.

She uses straightforward, skills-based approaches. Sessions often focus on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear when they fit the client’s goals. Trauma-focused methods are available for people processing past harm.

Jessica treats problems brought on by burnout and compassion fatigue and helps people who struggle with panic, social anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. She also supports adults navigating young-adult issues and those on the autism spectrum in ways that respect their experiences. Her work covers disruptive mood dysregulation concerns and bipolar-related mood management.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She begins by assessing strengths and challenges, then sets clear, practical goals for change. Sessions aim to build skills for handling anger, reducing reactivity, and improving communication in everyday situations.

Jessica trained at the University of Maryland School of Social Work and has spent over a decade in clinical social work. Her practice reflects core social work values including service and integrity, and she focuses on concrete strategies clients can use between sessions.
