About Jessica
Jessica Pustka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of experience. She focuses on practical help for anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Jessica aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear.
She helps people build everyday skills for coping and self-care. Jessica works with issues like parenting strain, family conflict, grief, career concerns, and self-esteem. She also pays attention to challenges common to young adults.
Background and approach
In sessions she emphasizes the client’s own knowledge about their life. Jessica supports people to speak up for themselves and try tools that fit their daily routine. She uses straightforward exercises and short skills practice to make change feel possible.
Her approach draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means she combines values-focused goals, practical thinking tools, and emotion-regulation skills. Together with the client, she tailors these techniques to each person’s needs.
Jessica typically offers sessions during business hours from 8 am to 5 pm. Therapy can include occasional problem-solving for immediate stress, longer work on patterns like anxiety or depression, or help navigating parenting and family strain. She encourages gradual steps and real-world practice between meetings.
How core therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It pairs decisions about behavior with simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to change mood and behavior. It often uses short homework tasks and practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.The therapist and client figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That decision is collaborative and can shift over time as goals change. Sessions begin with priorities and use feedback to adjust techniques so they match the person's needs and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face and try hands-on exercises together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, skill practice, or support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while using ACT, CBT, and DBT tools in practical ways.
