Mindfulness-Based Therapy

A Path to Clarity and Emotional Resilience

Are You Stuck in a Cycle of Stress, Sadness, or Negative Thinking?

Do you feel like your thoughts are constantly spiraling? Are you battling anxiety, depression, or chronic emotional fatigue that keeps returning—even when life seems fine on the surface? Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBCT) may offer the grounded, restorative support you need.

At Jessica Wolfe, LCSW LLC, Mindfulness-Based Therapy combines the science of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the wisdom of meditation, body awareness, and self-compassion, helping clients break free from recurring emotional patterns.

What Is Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)?

MBCT is an evidence-based treatment that teaches clients how to observe their thoughts without judgment, rather than automatically reacting to them. It’s designed to interrupt cycles of anxiety, rumination, and low mood by changing your relationship to your thoughts—not the thoughts themselves.

MBCT emphasizes:

Post-treatment depression relapse prevention

In fact, research shows MBCT can reduce the risk of depressive relapse by up to 50% in those with a history of recurrent depression.

How Mindfulness-Based Therapy Works

Through MBCT, clients learn to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being overwhelmed by them. Instead of getting stuck in the past or worrying about the future, you’re trained to anchor in the present, reducing the intensity and duration of distress.
