About Jessica

Jessica Burger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She holds a graduate degree in Counseling and has four years of work in mental health. Jessica offers straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her experience includes work with mood disorders, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, and people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also has experience supporting those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Background and approach

Jessica leans on practical skills that clients can use between sessions. In sessions she starts by listening and learning what matters most to each person. She respects individual differences and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.

Treatment plans are shaped around a person’s goals rather than a fixed formula. Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness ideas to keep the work grounded and usable.

Motivational Interviewing may be used when someone needs extra help finding motivation to change. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person. Jessica emphasizes teaching practical tools and walking alongside people as they work through life changes.

If someone is ready to make a change, she focuses on clear steps and supportive guidance.

How Jessica blends approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where each person sets the goals. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort priorities and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it teaches clear skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they decide which approaches fit best. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, try tools in real life, and return to skills between meetings. The variety of formats gives flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
