About Jessica

Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction-related issues. Jessica also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep and eating difficulties, and codependency-related patterns.

Her approach is practical and direct. She listens first and helps people name what is happening in their day-to-day life. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing - for example setting boundaries, coping with someone else's moods, or getting through a hard transition.

Jessica uses a mix of methods to match the situation. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship-related feelings. She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are part of the picture.

In sessions she encourages concrete steps someone can try between meetings. That might mean short behavioral experiments, new ways to speak up, or skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions. She helps people track what works and adjust as needed.

People who reach out will complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Jessica practices in Texas and conducts work in English. The cost of sessions varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person wants to address and uses listening and reflection to help clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who need someone to help them sort out priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and sensations to reduce their intensity when those memories are a central problem.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that fit the client's goals and comfort level. Plans can be adjusted as sessions reveal what helps most, combining talk work with skills practice or trauma-focused techniques when appropriate.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. It can also let someone work with a Texas-licensed LPC while staying in the same state. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to structure sessions so they fit daily life and goals.
