About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among the areas she addresses. Jessica speaks English and Spanish and practices from a practical, straightforward stance.
She trained in social welfare at the University of California at Berkeley and completed a master of social work at Columbia University. Jessica has been a Texas LCSW since 2006 and has worked as a psychotherapist since 2008, gaining experience with mood disorders, panic, postpartum depression, and other challenges along the way.
In sessions she leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try different, specific strategies. She also uses Client-Centered and Psychodynamic ideas to notice how past experiences shape present feelings and behavior. That mix is meant to help people name what’s happening and take small, workable steps forward.
Jessica aims for clear, practical conversations about what’s getting in the way day to day. She talks through stress responses, anger that shows up at work or home, problems with motivation, and relationship patterns. The focus is on concrete skills, realistic problem-solving, and understanding how past events influence current reactions.
People can expect direct discussion about goals and methods in early sessions. Jessica asks about what has helped before, what hasn’t, and what someone wants to try next. She also notes cultural and multicultural concerns when they matter to the issue at hand.
How Jessica’s approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own solutions; it helps when someone wants to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on specific, realistic goals and small steps that produce quick changes, which can be useful for people who want immediate, practical strategies.Part of the work is trying methods and seeing what fits. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test approaches, and adjust plans together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences rather than assuming one fixed method.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for remote work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time lost to travel. They also let someone schedule sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments while still working on anger, stress, and day-to-day coping skills.
