About Jessica
Jessica Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with three years of practice listed. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.
Peterson uses plain conversation and structured strategies in sessions. She blends methods that focus on attachment, thoughts and behaviors, emotional regulation, and relationship skills. Sessions often look like reviewing what’s happening now, practicing a new skill, and deciding one small step to try before the next visit.
She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered for regulating emotions and managing intense stress.
Her work also includes Gottman Method ideas for people who want specific tools for relationship communication and problem-solving. Mindfulness practices are introduced in short, practical ways to help with focus and grounding during hard moments.
Jessica trained in social work at the University of Houston and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Austin College. She has experience across clinics, hospitals, and private practice settings. Clients are guided toward clear, achievable goals and concrete steps to manage daily life and relationships.
BHow sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships influence present behavior and helps people notice and change recurring interaction patterns. It can be useful for addressing relationship conflict, abandonment worries, and attachment issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This approach is practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings specific skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are often taught in short exercises and practiced between sessions to handle intense moments more effectively.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She aims to collaborate on which skills to learn and which problems to prioritize so each session feels purposeful.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and communication tools to work in remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
