About Jessica
Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She uses a straightforward, supportive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She aims to make sessions feel calm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak honestly about what matters most to them.
Jessica encourages practical steps that fit everyday life. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, doable goals. Her approach blends talking through feelings with tools that can be used between sessions.
Background and approach
With nine years of professional experience, Jessica has worked with a broad range of issues including trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and challenges related to family and relationships. She also addresses areas such as body image, caregiver stress, and adoption and foster care concerns. Her background includes training in several therapy models she draws from depending on client needs.
Jessica uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people change patterns of thought and behavior. For trauma work she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing techniques as appropriate.
Sessions are offered through multiple online formats, which allows flexibility for people balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities. Prospective clients can expect a practical, down-to-earth approach focused on small changes that add up over time.
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy places the relationship first. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and adjusts to each person’s pace. This approach helps people feel understood and supported while they sort through stress, parenting concerns, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses clear steps and exercises that clients can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms and improve daily routines.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when trauma is a concern. It involves structured processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and help people move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often combines elements from different approaches to meet specific needs, and she adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins or when more flexible timing is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and daily life.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
