About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Dr. Des Roches focuses on problems that show up in daily life. That includes sleep and eating difficulties, career strain, parenting questions, attachment patterns, and grief. She also addresses issues related to sexual identity and LGBTQ concerns, body image, and chronic illness.
Her approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. That means conversations start with what matters to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable. She uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, along with skills to manage strong emotions in the moment.
Clients can expect to work on communication patterns, control issues, and coping strategies for anger and frustration. She also offers methods for processing traumatic memories and improving relationship interactions. Work might include short skills practice, problem-solving, and reflecting on past patterns.
Dr. Des Roches has experience with adoption and foster care questions, autism spectrum concerns, BDSM and kink culture, blended family issues, and attachment difficulties. Her background also covers mood disorders, ADHD, dissociation, and recovery after sexual assault.
If someone is weighing therapy, she asks about goals, daily stressors, and what has or hasn't helped before. The first steps typically clarify priorities and agree on small, practical steps for the coming sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through priorities and set short goals based on real-life stressors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with hands-on exercises and homework. Delivered remotely, CBT can include practical exercises to try between sessions and quick check-ins about progress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; those skills are practiced in session and applied to situations like anger at work or home.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That decision can change over time as new issues come up or skill practice progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports consistent skill practice between meetings and helps people apply strategies in real daily contexts.
