About Jessica

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and relationship concerns. She is queer-identifying and offers an affirming approach for LGBT clients. Jessica also supports people dealing with addictions, body-image and eating struggles, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.

Jessica frames therapy around respect and mutual collaboration. She uses straightforward, person-centered work that focuses on what matters to the client. Sessions emphasize practical tools, clearer communication, and building tolerance for hard emotions. She names herself Jess and prefers she/her pronouns.

Her practice draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and connection struggles.

Jessica often adapts sessions for neurodivergent people, including clients with ADHD and autism. She also provides an affirming, sex-positive space for kink and alternative sexual cultures. Her work includes attention to blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and complex co-morbid concerns.

Jessica has seven years of clinical experience and practices in Texas. She integrates the Gottman Method for relational work and draws from DBT skills when emotion regulation is a primary need. Her aim is to help people build resilience, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that guide online work and connection

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try different responses that feel more helpful in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her approach and focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when strong emotions appear.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She talks with each person about goals and preferences and adjusts the mix of methods based on what is most useful. The client and therapist decide together which skills or relational work to prioritize.

Session logistics and formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people attend from a calmer setting at work or home and choose whether to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals aim to match the approach and practical setup to each person's needs and routines.
