More about Jessica

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I'm particularly passionate about addressing issues like social anxiety, self-esteem, communication difficulties, and trauma recovery.

My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique experiences. I focus on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with their inner strength. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship dynamics, or personal identity challenges, I'm committed to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop practical skills to manage anxiety, improve relationships, and cultivate self-compassion. My work is grounded in understanding the interconnected nature of emotional experiences and empowering individuals to create meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
