Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional safety and interpersonal behavior, which can be especially helpful for intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy - rooted in humanistic principles - emphasizes empathy, genuine regard, and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace and focus of their healing.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to identify which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts methods over time to support lasting change. That collaborative process helps tailor care for trauma recovery, neurodivergent needs, relationship work, or body-image concerns.
Because her practice is virtual across Texas, therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make consistent support more accessible for people balancing work, family, or health needs.
