Jessica speaks English and Spanish and practices in Texas. She follows evidence-informed methods while keeping discussions concrete and focused on the goals a client brings to therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and many stress-related problems. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear goals and practical steps. That approach focuses on what works now and builds brief, achievable plans.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Over time the approach can shift as priorities change and progress is reviewed.
