About Jessica
Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around parenting and self-esteem. Jessica aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable for anyone who is ready to try.
Jessica uses a straightforward, warm approach in sessions. She listens carefully and helps clients name what matters most to them. Conversations focus on practical steps and small shifts that can reduce worry and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Her background includes nine years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. In addition to core issues like mood and anxiety, she supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviors, sleep and eating struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses relationship and family-related problems and adoption or foster care questions when those arise for individual clients.
Jessica draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to build trust, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. Emotion-focused conversations help clarify feelings and strengthen emotional understanding.
Sessions are offered in English and are available in multiple online formats. Jessica helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way. She encourages clients to take small, concrete steps outside sessions to build confidence and make lasting change.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgment. Online sessions use that same basic approach to create an open space where people can talk about what matters most and set goals together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. In an online session clients learn simple tools and homework tasks that can be practiced between meetings to reduce worry and improve sleep and mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, can be used when past trauma is part of the picture. When appropriate, EMDR techniques are adapted for remote work to help process distressing memories and reduce their intensity over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose strategies and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits the client's life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new strategies without adding travel time.
