About Jessica

Jessica Seidel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on parenting and related stressors. She draws on ten years of counseling experience to support people dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and helping them build practical coping skills for everyday life.

She prefers a person-centered stance where the client guides the pace of sessions.

Background and approach

Jessica offers steady guidance while helping clients name problems, try small changes, and notice what works. Sessions mix practical strategies with space to process difficult emotions. Jessica trained in counseling and development at Texas Woman's University after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Her background includes work in non-profit agencies, independent practice, inpatient settings, and a school district, giving her experience with many situations and stressors. Her methods draw from emotionally-focused and trauma-focused work, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles. She adapts tools to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single approach for everyone.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Jessica emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and helps people develop skills they can use between meetings. She also welcomes questions and aims to make therapy understandable and practical.

How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. Online sessions give space to talk through what matters most, set goals, and choose small changes to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and the patterns that keep them stuck. When used online, EFT can guide focused conversations that shift how someone responds to stress and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration continues as sessions progress and adjustments are made based on what helps.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and multiple ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for a fuller conversation, while phone sessions offer a simpler option. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions. These formats help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other demands.

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.

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.

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.
