About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, LGBT concerns, anger, grief, self-esteem, and related issues.
She uses straightforward, person-centered work that focuses on what feels most urgent. Conversations tend to look at patterns in thinking and behavior, and practical skills for managing strong feelings. She also draws on tools that address traumatic memories and relationship communication when those come up.
Dr. Des Roches helps people untangle recurring conflicts in close relationships and at work. She pays attention to control issues, commitment worries, and communication problems. For people struggling with identity or gender and sexual orientation concerns she offers affirmative support.
When trauma is part of the picture, she incorporates approaches aimed at processing painful memories and reducing their hold on daily life. For mood and anxiety concerns she uses techniques that help change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Sessions often include short exercises and take-home practice.
She also works with people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, autism spectrum experiences, chronic illness, body image and eating concerns, and career strain. She has experience with both mood disorders and more complex dissociative or personality-related patterns.
People who contact her begin by completing a brief questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can identify their priorities and feel understood. Online sessions using this approach let conversations concentrate on current problems, values, and what the client wants to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps. In remote sessions this often means identifying specific thoughts, practicing alternative responses, and assigning short exercises to try between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. When used online, DBT skills are practiced in-session and then applied to daily life with scheduled check-ins.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The original profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they work through anger, relationships, or trauma.
