Jessica Peterson , LCSW

Jessica Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who brings a focused, compassionate approach to supporting individuals, couples, and families. With three years of clinical experience, she works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and a range of mood and personality-related issues. She also addresses conditions and life stages such as bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, ADHD, and adjustment to major life changes.

Jessica combines several evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person - including Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method for couples, and Mindfulness Therapy. This blend allows her to focus on emotional patterns, practical coping skills, relationship dynamics, and present-moment awareness depending on what the client needs.

She provides care in English and is accepting new clients in Texas. Jessica does not currently work with international clients. Therapy with her is offered through multiple formats to fit varied schedules and preferences, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. As an LCSW - a licensed clinician trained to provide psychotherapy and social work services - she aims to create an individualized, collaborative process that helps clients move toward their goals.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Healing Relationships

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. It helps clients explore patterns of connection, address attachment injuries, and build more secure ways of relating to partners, family members, and themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to create measurable shifts in daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques so therapy is tailored and responsive. Clients are invited to share feedback and shape the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location within Texas.
