About Jessica

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting challenges, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and complex relational patterns like attachment and abandonment struggles. Jessica blends practical tools with an affirmation of each person’s experience to address both immediate symptoms and underlying patterns.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration and empathy, drawing on evidence-based methods to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered techniques, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and strengthen relationships.

As an LMFT licensed in Texas, she brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice and frames care around respect, choice, and client strengths. Jessica offers sessions in formats that accommodate different preferences and schedules, and she seeks to create an affirming environment for diverse sexual identities and relationship styles.

Her work aims to help people move toward greater resilience, clearer communication, and more compassionate self-understanding.

Practical approaches for online healing and skills building

Jessica frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, mood concerns, and behavior change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her toolbox, helping people clarify values and build psychological flexibility when facing difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on relational patterns, offering ways to understand and shift how past and present relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaboration. Jessica works with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, and she adapts techniques as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy sessions include video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations within Texas. These formats allow clients to engage in skill practice, processing, and check-ins in ways that fit their daily life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
