About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes, and she also addresses relationship and parenting concerns. Jessica speaks English and Spanish.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are among the approaches she uses to help people manage symptoms and set concrete goals. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time.
Jessica’s background includes a bachelor’s degree in social welfare from the University of California at Berkeley and a master’s in social work from Columbia University. She has been licensed in Texas since 2006 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 2008. That combination of education and years in practice informs how she structures care.
In sessions she helps people identify immediate coping steps while also looking at longer-term patterns. That can mean practicing skills to reduce panic, talking through grief, or mapping changes to manage stress at work or home. The focus is on practical changes a person can use between sessions.
Jessica also works with a range of concerns often connected to mood and behavior, including ADHD, bipolar spectrum issues, postpartum mood, and anger or impulsivity. She includes multicultural considerations when relevant and will discuss how cultural background affects expectations and goals.
She recommends starting with a short intake to outline priorities, choose a clear plan, and agree on next steps. Speaking in either English or Spanish is available for session work.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s priorities, asks questions to clarify goals, and adapts pacing to what helps most. This approach is useful for clients who need space to name their concerns and set direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought and behavior patterns that maintain distress. Online CBT typically includes short skill practice, tracking mood or activity between sessions, and concrete exercises that aim to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. It often works well for panic, worry, and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying brief, focused steps first or combining techniques over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a workday break or evening. They also let people use audio or video in ways that suit their needs, such as shorter check-ins when time is limited.
