About Jessica
Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship challenges. She also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, depression, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem struggles. Jessica offers an affirming, sex-positive approach for LGBT clients and people navigating intimacy-related issues.
Her sessions are conversational and practical. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Techniques often include skill practice, values-based steps, and strategies to manage strong emotions.
How Jessica works
Jessica aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful on an everyday level. Jessica draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. She blends approaches to match each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
This mix helps when concerns involve mood, relationships, or long-standing patterns. With seven years of clinical experience, Jessica brings focused attention to attachment wounds, abandonment issues, and communication or control struggles. She also pays attention to body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and blended family dynamics.
Her work includes support around BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures in an accepting way. Jessica practices in Texas and conducts sessions online. She uses a collaborative style that helps people build coping tools, improve communication, and move toward their values.
She encourages curiosity, steady progress, and self-compassion throughout the work.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while building tolerance for difficult thoughts and feelings. It tends to help when people feel stuck or overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, then practicing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep or eating that respond to structured skill work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and relational work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, on-the-go processing, or regular skill reminders between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into varied schedules and life demands.
