About Jacques
Jacques Noguess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years practicing as an LPC and a total of 29 years in social services. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, depression, and a range of life challenges. He emphasizes practical help for people trying to get unstuck and move forward.
He draws from several evidence-informed approaches rather than a single method. Sessions focus on clear, usable skills like managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building consistent habits that reduce reactivity. He also uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people live with difficult feelings without being driven by them.
Jacques has worked across settings with people facing trauma, mood concerns, addictions, and complex life transitions. That background informs a pragmatic style - he listens, identifies patterns, and suggests steps clients can try between sessions. He also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, first responder strain, fatherhood issues, and midlife questions.
People can expect conversations that move between problem-solving and reflecting on values and purpose. He often blends cognitive-behavioral tools with acceptance-based ideas to address anger, relationship strain, sleep problems, and career stress. He encourages small, sustainable changes rather than all-or-nothing fixes.
Outside of practice, he is a parent who plays music and values lifelong learning and travel. Jacques accepts clients who speak English and works with international clients as well.
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jacques draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and on taking steps toward those values even when strong feelings are present. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anger, anxiety, or low mood.He treats the choice of approach as collaborative. In early sessions he will talk with the client about goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and what the client prefers. The process is meant to blend skills practice with attention to values and life direction.
For practical online work, confirm the exact session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online meetings can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent during life changes. Licensed professionals, including therapists using ACT and CBT, often adapt exercises so they work effectively in remote sessions.
