About Jessica
Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who approaches therapy with a steady, person-focused style. She aims to make the therapy room a calm place to talk about stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is straightforward and kind.
She encourages small steps toward change. With nine years of experience, Jessica uses methods that help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She draws on client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's experience and on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
She also integrates emotionally focused ideas to clarify relationships and EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem. In sessions she listens first, then offers clear strategies and gentle challenges. Sessions may include practical exercises, thought records, and emotion-focused conversations.
Parents may receive tools for handling stress and parenting strain while preserving personal wellbeing. Jessica helps people facing grief, addictions, eating or sleep concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood swings, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with attachment issues, body image, communication problems, and the stress of caregiving or adoption and foster care situations.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Jessica guides people to set realistic goals and tries out approaches that fit their life. The result is a practical plan people can use between sessions to track progress and handle setbacks.
Sessions are held in English and take place online in formats that fit busy schedules. Jessica aims to reduce overwhelm so people can focus on steady, manageable change.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist mirrors feelings, asks questions, and helps people find their own solutions, which can work well in a session over video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises and homework to change patterns; this approach is easy to share over chat, messaging, or during a video visit. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories through structured steps and can be adapted to online formats when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and practical needs and then try methods that match those priorities. Sessions are collaborative and can shift focus as progress is made or new concerns emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief updates, tool sharing, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
