About Jessica
Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, motivation issues, and depression. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier at home.
Jessica frames sessions around open, client-centered work. She listens without judgment and encourages straightforward conversation about what is difficult. Clients can expect a focus on skills they can try between sessions and brief check-ins about what helps and what does not.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and adjust behaviors. She also uses emotionally-focused methods to name feelings and improve how people communicate about them. For people processing difficult memories, she lists EMDR among her approaches.
Jessica includes existential ideas when people feel stuck by big life questions, and she uses mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity in stressful moments. These tools are presented in simple language and practiced in session so clients know how to use them at home.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including addiction, grief, body image, ADHD, attachment questions, and issues connected to adoption or foster care. Jessica works in English and sees clients who live in Texas. To begin, people are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they feel understood. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through current struggles and name practical next steps for home life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together to build different responses. In video or phone conversations, CBT work is often done with short exercises and homework to practice between sessions.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose which approach or mix of approaches feels most useful. That decision is based on the person’s goals, the kinds of problems they bring, and what methods they prefer to try in sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid being on camera if someone prefers audio only. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they work over distance and help people practice skills between meetings.
