About Jacques

Jacques Noguess is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, goal-focused therapy. He draws from approaches that help people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Jacques keeps sessions direct and relatable so busy parents can get clear next steps.

He has 14 years as an LPC and broader experience in social services. He uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed style.

Background and approach

That can mean learning new thinking skills, practicing mindfulness, or sharpening emotional regulation tools. Jacques also works with concerns such as addictions, relationship strain, sleeping problems, and parenting stress. His work includes attention to issues like guilt, shame, codependency, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, and midlife questions.

He is comfortable addressing trauma-related material and compassion fatigue. The tone in sessions is down-to-earth and focused on usable strategies. Jacques has lived and worked in Texas and has years of experience in varied settings.

He enjoys helping people sort priorities, set small achievable goals, and build habits that last. He explains things plainly and checks in to make sure approaches fit each person. If someone wants a straightforward therapist who combines emotion-focused listening with practical tools, Jacques offers that blend.

He supports clients as they work toward clearer direction and steadier daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online scheduling and care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values so life moves forward even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to uncover what matters most. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacques will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest options based on what seems to help most. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as needs change. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier for busy lives. These formats let people access therapy from home, keep continuity during life changes, and use shorter check-ins when that fits better. The variety of formats supports flexibility while keeping the focus on building useful habits and real-world improvements.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
