She draws on a decade of clinical experience and aims to make sessions practical and understandable for people feeling overwhelmed.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Master of Science in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman's University.
Background and approach
Over ten years she has worked in nonprofit settings, independent practice, inpatient care, and within a school district. That variety informs how she tailors support to each person's situation. Jessica favors a person-centered style that keeps the client in control of the session.
She blends techniques from trauma-focused work, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, emotionally-focused methods, and client-centered therapy to meet practical needs. Sessions often focus on coping skills, emotional regulation, and building routines that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. She often helps people dealing with grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, workplace stress, and the demands of parenting and postpartum life.
Jessica also addresses issues like abandonment, blended family dynamics, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and preparation for pregnancy and childbirth. Jessica describes therapy as a collaborative process that can be brief or longer term, depending on the issue. She encourages clients to ask questions and to try different techniques until they find what works.
Her approach aims to help people notice their strengths and take steady steps toward feeling better.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist checks in about goals and adjusts each meeting to what feels most useful. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotional patterns that influence relationships and self-view; online work can guide clients through those emotional moments and teach new ways to respond. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and quiet the mind, which can be practiced during video or phone sessions and reinforced between meetings.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She often combines techniques and adjusts the plan as progress is made so clients can try different tools and keep what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat allows a quick check-in, and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates or when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make it easier to keep work on coping skills consistent with day-to-day life.
