About Jessica

Jessica Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day. Jessica listens first, then helps identify strengths and small changes that add up over time.

She draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. That includes attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape emotions, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and EMDR for addressing trauma memories when appropriate.

Background and approach

Sessions are meant to be straightforward and goal-oriented while staying grounded in what matters to the client. Jessica often helps with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also works with issues like ADHD, grief, parenting strain, substance use, and career stress.

Additional focuses include abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image, caregiving stress, and codependency. Her style balances practical tools and emotional processing. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and guided exercises tailored to their situation.

Jessica pays attention to safety and pacing when trauma is part of the story. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People who want to start can answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect emotions and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and specific exercises to identify patterns in relationships and build new ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and conflict.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In remote sessions a therapist will teach practical skills and homework to change unhelpful thinking, improve sleep, manage anger, and shift behavior between meetings.

EMDR is used to work with traumatic memories by combining guided eye movement or similar bilateral stimulation with focused processing. When appropriate, this can be adapted for video or phone formats with careful pacing and preparation.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a plan and adjust it as progress is made. That collaborative process helps find what works best for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can serve as quick check-ins or a way to continue work between longer sessions. These options help people stay consistent with care across changing schedules.
