About Jessica

Jessica Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She brings a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective to her work, helping clients build practical skills and tap into existing resources to manage stress, mood-related concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Jessica frames challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and ADHD within a broader context that honors each person’s history and coping patterns. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, using evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused work, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate.

Jessica pays attention to relational patterns, communication difficulties, and issues tied to attachment, abandonment, or caregiving stress, tailoring interventions to the presenting concern. She also supports people navigating identity and intimacy matters, sleep problems, career pressures, and the emotional impacts of trauma and loss.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while honoring the client’s pace and readiness for change. Jessica uses plain-language explanations of techniques and partners with clients to set attainable steps, helping them develop coping tools, improve relationships, and increase day-to-day functioning.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and practical skills

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and connection, helping clients explore and change interaction styles to improve intimacy and reduce relational distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and many stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the emotional charge of distressing memories and support recovery from past traumatic events when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences and then suggests techniques or combinations of methods that fit. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan over time so interventions remain relevant and effective for changing needs.

Online therapy with Jessica uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make care more accessible around busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats let clients maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and choose the communication style that best supports their progress.
