About Jessica
Jessica Burger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with four years of experience in mental health work. She draws on a background in psychology and counseling to help individuals facing common and complex life challenges. Jessica meets people with patience and direct support when they decide to make a change.
Her practice focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and ADHD. She also helps people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship difficulties, and parenting strain.
How Jessica works
Jessica has experience supporting people who live with intellectual or developmental disabilities and those managing mood disorders and obsessive behaviors. Jessica uses evidence-informed methods while shaping each plan to fit the person in front of her. She relies on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and she blends in client-centered and mindfulness approaches when they suit the situation.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change and needs to strengthen their own reasons for it. Sessions are practical and goal-focused. Jessica aims to teach skills someone can use between meetings - breathing and grounding tools, communication strategies, problem-solving steps, and ways to break cycles of avoidance or impulsivity.
She keeps explanations clear and gives simple exercises to practice. Jessica describes her role as walking alongside people while they work toward their goals. She favors respectful, compassionate interaction and partners with each person to decide the next step.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps people who need an empathetic space to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. She discusses what to expect, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on how helpful they are.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video works well for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to practice skills between sessions.
