About Jessica

Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She combines evidence-informed strategies with an individualized, client-centered stance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, mood challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Jessica’s background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and she tailors sessions to each person’s goals and circumstances. Her work emphasizes practical change alongside deeper understanding, addressing concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family dynamics, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress.

Jessica also attends to complex mood and impulse-related presentations and multicultural considerations. She offers services in both English and Spanish and frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on growth, coping skills, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Jessica earned a bachelor’s degree in social welfare from the University of California at Berkeley and a master’s in social work from Columbia University. Licensed in Texas (TX LCSW 42476), she blends clinical knowledge with a commitment to reducing mental health stigma and encouraging people to seek support when they need it.

Applying therapeutic approaches to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own expertise about their life; it helps people feel understood and supports exploration of values and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then adapt methods over time so the approach fits the client’s needs rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow for consistent contact, varied pacing, and easier access from different locations while preserving a therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
