About Jacques

Jacques Noguess is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who centers his work on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients move past barriers and pursue meaningful goals.

Background and approach

Drawing on 14 years of practice as an LPC and a broader 29-year background in social services, he integrates cognitive behavioral methods with other therapeutic tools to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. His approach emphasizes listening first, then tailoring interventions that build daily skills and promote clearer thinking and purposeful action.

He has worked with people navigating a wide range of life challenges including addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career transitions, and complex mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Additional focus areas include caregiving stress, codependency, family of origin issues, forgiveness, and life purpose.

Jacques values collaboration and grounds sessions in client-centered principles while drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices to support coping and growth. Based in Texas, he welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients.

Outside of clinical work he finds balance through family life and music, and he brings a lifelong learning perspective to each therapeutic relationship.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online care

Jacques commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. ACT helps clients clarify values, accept difficult experiences, and commit to actions that build a meaningful life even amid ongoing challenges.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that choosing the right method is part of therapy itself. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities to determine whether CBT, ACT, or a client-centered blend fits best, and will adjust the plan as progress and feedback indicate.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online work provides practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Texas or internationally when travel or time constraints might otherwise get in the way.
