About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. 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.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice thought and behavior patterns and test small changes. She also draws on Psychodynamic and Client-Centered ideas to look at how past experiences and current values shape reactions.
In sessions she talks through specific problems and workable steps. For anger, that can mean spotting triggers, trying different responses, and practicing new habits in daily life. For anxiety or grief she helps people map what’s most urgent and what can wait.
Jessica describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps set goals, tracks progress, and adjusts methods when something isn’t helping. The work tends to be direct and skill-focused, with time for reflection about deeper patterns when needed.
Her background includes a long clinical history in Texas since earning licensure as an LCSW. People who choose her often want clear strategies they can use between sessions as well as space to understand why certain problems keep repeating.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs understanding, clearer goals, and steady support while making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small behavior tests and practical tools to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on specific, achievable steps and what a person wants to see change next.Picking the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. That means trying a skills-focused path if immediate coping is most important, or adding deeper discussion when patterns point to longer-standing issues.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work, school, or caregiving demands and reducing travel time. If you need to check in quickly, shorter sessions or phone conversations can be easier to schedule and use less bandwidth than video. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are available.
