About Jessica

Background and approach

She approaches complex cases that may include mood or personality disorders, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions with practical therapeutic tools and attention to relational patterns. Her work blends evidence-informed methods and relational perspectives, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method for relationship work, and mindfulness techniques.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Jessica frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit and focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship, family, and attachment issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can support people coping with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then recommends techniques from these approaches to fit the client’s needs. Over time methods may be adapted as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Texas without needing in-person visits, and they support ongoing skill practice between sessions.
