Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She uses plain language and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She aims to create an affirming space where clients feel heard and respected.

Jessica favors approaches that address thoughts, feelings, and relationships together. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.

Her work is informed by attachment and family systems ideas, so conversations often include how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings. Jessica adapts pacing and tools to fit each person’s needs.

She has seven years of clinical experience and practices in Texas. Jessica offers an affirming, sex-positive stance and attends to neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism. She supports people dealing with eating and body image concerns through approaches that emphasize compassion and sustainable behavior change.

People who come to Jessica can expect straightforward talk, concrete coping strategies, and attention to how relationships shape well-being. She helps people build resilience and clearer communication while working toward more consistent daily routines and healthier boundaries.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can focus on practical skill-building, such as problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and routine changes that fit daily life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed action. In virtual sessions this can mean setting real-world goals and tracking small steps between meetings to see what helps most.

Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns show up now. Conversations may include how to improve communication, set boundaries, and create safer patterns in current relationships, all discussed in a collaborative way.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and pace. That may mean combining techniques from different models and adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face work, phone sessions when bandwidth or movement is easier, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other routines while keeping focus on practical change and emotional support.
