About Jessica

Jessica Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who brings two decades of clinical experience to work with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical skill set to tailor care to each person, blending practical coping strategies with reflective exploration to address issues such as eating and body image concerns, anger, self-esteem, and complex mood presentations.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and flexibility, using evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques to meet immediate needs while supporting longer-term growth.

Jessica has worked in community, residential, and outpatient settings and brings experience helping people manage recovery skills, communicate more effectively, and rebuild a sense of agency after difficult life events. She aims to create a welcoming space that encourages self-exploration and skill-building to reduce symptoms and strengthen coping resources.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and build a life guided by values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing new skills to shift mood and functioning, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques from these models to form a treatment plan that feels manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or access support from home. These formats allow consistent follow-up, skills practice between sessions, and varied ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most helpful for them.
