About Jessica
Jessica Murphy is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues around intimacy and codependency. She also supports people coping with grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes.
Jessica draws on straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice patterns and try new responses. She also brings attachment-based ideas to discussions about how early relationships shape current needs and reactions.
Her background includes community, residential, and outpatient settings where she supported people dealing with addiction and recovery skills. Over two decades she has worked with people who experienced panic attacks, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, and intimate partner violence. She has experience with eating issues, codependency, and chronic pain as well.
In sessions she focuses on teaching skills and strategies people can use between meetings. That can look like practicing a new way to handle a trigger, role-playing a boundary, or building a step-by-step plan for changing a repeated behavior. The goal is practical: reduce distress and increase a sense of control.
Jessica asks people to choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and then commit to actions aligned with what matters. It is often useful for anxiety, avoidance patterns, and getting unstuck from repeated reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing changes. It is practical work for anxiety, depression, cravings, and habit change.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and coping now. It helps people understand patterns around closeness, abandonment fears, and codependent behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Jessica will work collaboratively with each person to test methods and see what fits their goals and preferences. That can mean trying different tools in early sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking. The therapist description does not list specific formats, so check which formats are offered and how they fit your life. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce time spent traveling, which helps when balancing work, caregiving, or school commitments.
