About Jessica
Jessica Matisoff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on easing stress and anxiety, building self-esteem, and supporting people who are navigating parenting concerns. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping someone take the next step toward feeling steadier in day-to-day life.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes rather than long lectures.
Background and approach
Jessica listens closely and offers tools that clients can try between sessions to see what helps. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address strong feelings that affect relationships.
For trauma-related issues she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to reduce intense distress tied to memories. Jessica has helped people manage depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and addiction-related struggles. She also supports those coping with life transitions, attachment concerns, and challenges linked to adoption or foster care.
Her aim is to reduce overwhelm and help clients feel more capable. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and then schedule sessions when convenient.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with respect and curiosity. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people clarify their own goals, which can be especially helpful when navigating parenting stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable parts and offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions, useful for anxiety and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works in real life.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people keep visual connection and read facial cues, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try strategies in the moment.
