Background and approach
Early in her career she worked on health psychology research at the University of Texas at Arlington, focusing on stress, resilience, exercise, and chronic health issues. That work shaped her interest in how lifestyle and coping affect mental health. In sessions she uses clear, goal-oriented methods alongside person-centered listening.
She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from solution-focused tools to identify small steps that make a difference. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas are used as needed to support change and to reframe personal stories. Jessica describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She helps people set realistic goals, test changes between sessions, and track what works. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Based in Texas, she brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.
Jessica has published research on stress and exercise among college students and continues to combine evidence-informed ideas with practical problem solving for everyday life.
How Jessica’s approaches can work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. In practice this means sessions start by focusing on what matters most to the person and adjusting pace and goals to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines that fuel anxiety or low mood; it often involves simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change by clarifying values and increasing motivation through gentle, guided conversation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative process can include trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual aids. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family routines.
