About Jessica
Jessica Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on years working in advocacy and mental health to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and related concerns. Jessica focuses on strengths and practical steps so clients can make meaningful change in daily life.
She takes a trauma-aware view in sessions and looks at how past wounds show up now.
How Jessica works
Jessica uses that perspective to help people understand patterns around attachment, abandonment, and codependency. She also supports those coping with grief, caregiving burden, addictions, and mood disorders such as bipolar concerns. Jessica blends straightforward therapies to match what each person needs.
Her work includes client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral strategies for thought and behavior shifts, and techniques drawn from attachment-focused work and EMDR. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is clear. Practical skills are part of most meetings.
People learn tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, handling anger, and sleeping better. She also offers coaching around career transitions and parenting stress when that’s helpful. Jessica provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions are arranged via a short matching questionnaire and scheduled according to therapist availability. She works in English and practices as an LPC in Texas.

Online support options
How approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice and change patterns in how they seek connection and handle conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and managing mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the hold of traumatic memories through guided processing; it can be adapted to remote sessions when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping therapy consistent.
