About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in care. She practices from Texas and provides services in both English and Spanish. Jessica focuses on practical, step-by-step help for people coping with mood and stress concerns.
She uses a personalized approach that centers each person’s goals. Sessions often include problem-solving and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Jessica also draws on insight about past experiences when that helps explain current struggles.
How Jessica works
People come to her for anxiety, depression, trauma and grief, and life transitions. She also supports work on parenting stress, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career pressures. Additional focus areas include fertility and postpartum challenges, blended family issues, and cultural or multicultural concerns.
Jessica trained in social welfare at the University of California, Berkeley and completed a master’s in social work at Columbia University. She has held a Texas LCSW since 2006 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 2008. Those years shaped a practical style that mixes short-term solutions with deeper exploration.
In sessions she aims to be direct and warm. Clients work on specific goals, learn coping skills, and review progress. The emphasis is on building strategies that fit everyday life and reduce symptoms over time.

Online support options
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s priorities. The therapist offers empathic support and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from past experiences and how they show up now, which can help with deeper feelings and relationship patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging let people send updates or brief reflections between live meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
