Jessica Grimm, LPC

Jessica Grimm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, career changes, parenting challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. Jessica writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful.

She uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions focus on goals the client sets and on small steps that can change day-to-day life. Jessica blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with people-centered conversation to keep work grounded and personal.

Her background includes a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Tarleton State University, and research experience in health psychology at the University of Texas at Arlington. That research looked at stress, resilience, exercise, and health issues such as cancer and diabetes. She brings fourteen years of counseling experience to sessions.

In a typical meeting she listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits what the client needs right now. She uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to support commitment and quick, practical changes. Narrative therapy is used when looking at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.

Jessica describes therapy as collaborative work. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust strategies when something isn’t working. Her approach is steady, goal-minded, and tuned to each person’s pace.

How Jessica uses practical approaches online

Jessica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying concrete experiments to change them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist reflects and clarifies to deepen understanding.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make difficult changes. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds commitment without pressure. Jessica treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will help clients try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on one way.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide quick touch-ins, reflection between sessions, or an option for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep steady progress from wherever someone is located in Texas.
