About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with fifteen years of experience offering psychotherapy to people in Texas. She brings a straightforward, practical style to sessions and speaks both English and Spanish. Jessica draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person's needs.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work when clients want concrete goals and short-term changes.
Background and approach
She also brings psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that recur across relationships and life choices. Jessica focuses on common and painful concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, intimacy and relationship worries, career challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and postpartum depression.
Additional interests include issues like forgiveness, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns. Sessions can include problem-solving, skills practice, and talking through emotional patterns. Jessica aims to help people notice what’s not working, try small changes, and track progress.
Her approach is direct but warm, and she works with each person at their own pace. Jessica earned a bachelor’s in social welfare from the University of California at Berkeley and a master’s in social work from Columbia University. She has held a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential and has practiced in Texas since 2008.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practices new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and work toward small changes that add up quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing, flexible conversation. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, keep regular work on goals, and maintain momentum between sessions.
