About Jessica

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, including jealousy. She offers an affirming, sex-positive approach and supports clients facing trauma, addiction, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and body image. She works with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating complex life changes and caregiving stress.

Her practice is informed by a person-centered, humanistic outlook. She leans on family systems ideas to notice how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Sessions aim to be respectful and nonjudgmental, and she works to tailor the pace and tone to each person.

Jessica uses a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She also draws on the Gottman Method and narrative ideas when they fit the client’s goals. This blend helps address anxiety, trauma responses, and patterns that fuel jealousy or control issues.

She has seven years of clinical experience and practices in Texas. Jessica emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional work, such as communication tools, grounding techniques, and values-based action steps. She aims to help people build resilience, improve relationships, and find more ease with themselves.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She invites clients to set clear goals and checks in about what’s working. People leave with concrete strategies and a clearer sense of how to handle triggers and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are strong. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and patterns that keep someone stuck. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape trust, closeness, and reactions like jealousy; this approach helps people notice and change relational patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and practical.

If you want online care, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use skills in real settings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone avoid video when bandwidth or comfort is an issue. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing, homework, and communication to match each person’s routine and goals.
