About Jessica
Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with people facing ADHD, relationship challenges, grief from life changes, and issues like self-esteem, eating, and sleep. Jess brings a direct, compassionate style and aims to make things feel manageable for overwhelmed parents and adults.
Her approach is warm and practical. She uses person-centered conversation to help people feel heard.
Background and approach
She combines skills-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to target unhelpful patterns and build day-to-day coping tools. Jessica draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. That helps when patterns started in childhood affect current trust, boundaries, or intimacy.
She also incorporates principles from dialectical behavior approaches when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Sessions are offered across Texas and delivered entirely online. Jess adapts pacing and communication for people who are neurodivergent or who prefer clear, structured plans.
She aims to create an affirming environment for LGBT clients and people with diverse sexual expressions. Her work often includes practical homework, skill practice, and communication exercises. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Jessica has seven years of clinical experience and uses that background to guide treatment choices with each person’s goals in mind.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often includes simple exercises to try between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and some ADHD-related challenges.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility and can help with stress, chronic worry, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose methods that match their goals, needs, and communication style. She adapts pacing and techniques for neurodivergent clients or anyone who prefers more structure or more exploratory conversation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer texting or need brief check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when travel or time constraints are an issue.
