About Jessica
Jessica Peterson, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting, depression, addictions, grief, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Jessica also focuses on family of origin issues, attachment concerns, abandonment, and life transitions.
Her approach blends evidence-based tools with relational work. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early family roles and expectations still influence current choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Jessica aims to help clients recognize patterns coming from their family of origin and practice different ways of responding. She also brings techniques drawn from the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict in relationships.
Before becoming an LCSW she completed a Master of Social Work. Her clinical background includes work in a range of settings, and she currently practices in Texas. Jessica conducts work in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How Jessica applies therapeutic approaches online
Jessica often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early family relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people name repeated roles and experiment with different responses in present-day relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep old patterns in place; it includes specific exercises and practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when relationships feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with skill-based work, shifting toward attachment-focused conversations, or blending techniques over time.
