About Jessica
Jessica Skinner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and related life changes. She also supports clients navigating parenting, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, mood issues, and identity questions within LGBT topics.
Jessica uses straightforward, problem-focused methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify patterns and try practical changes. Her work also includes elements of Client-Centered and Psychodynamic approaches when exploring deeper personal history and relationships.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in social welfare from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master’s in social work from Columbia University. She has been licensed as an LCSW in Texas since 2006 and has practiced as a psychotherapist since 2008. That history shapes a clinical style informed by long-term practice with varied concerns.
In sessions, Jessica focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Conversations can include thought and behavior work, short-term problem solving, and closer looks at recurring patterns that affect relationships and mood. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what is helpful.

Approaches used for online sessions and what they look like
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely and responding to what the client says, which helps clarify goals and what feels most important to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions using CBT tend to include practical exercises, thought records, and small behavioral experiments to try between meetings.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and what fits their preferences. Together they will pick methods and adjust them over time rather than fixating on a single model from the start.
The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when those are helpful. Some formats use video, while others may allow phone or different arrangements; check the platform’s session choices so the appointment style matches daily routines and comfort with being on camera.
