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:
Staying present and grounded in the moment
Recognizing early signs of emotional distress
Responding with awareness instead of habit
Accepting experiences without resistance or over-identification
This method is especially powerful for those who have experienced recurrent depression, chronic stress, or persistent anxiety.
Conditions That MBCT Can Effectively Treat
Jessica uses mindfulness-based interventions to support clients coping with:
Depression (especially recurring episodes)
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Emotional eating or food-related struggles
Negative self-talk and low self-esteem
Psychosomatic symptoms like fatigue or restlessness
Chronic unhappiness or irritability
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.
In sessions with Jessica, you’ll explore:
Breathing and body awareness
Meditation techniques to calm the nervous system
Thought tracking to notice emotional patterns
Mindful movement or stillness practices
Self-compassion exercises to reduce inner criticism
You’ll leave with practical tools that can be used between sessions and in your daily life.
Benefits of Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Clients who engage in MBCT often report:
Less emotional reactivity
Improved mood and emotional regulation
Greater mental clarity and focus
Decreased anxiety and rumination
Enhanced ability to respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively
Renewed sense of balance and self-compassion
This therapy isn’t about “clearing your mind”—it’s about learning to observe your inner experience calmly and with kindness.
