About Jessica
Jessica Peterson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas, has three years of practice experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, life changes, and ADHD. She uses attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, Gottman methods for relationship work, and mindfulness techniques to guide sessions.
Jessica focuses on practical support and clear skills. She helps clients name patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions include talking through relationship dynamics, practicing emotion regulation skills, and building routines for daily life.
Her approach blends short-term skills with deeper understanding of how early attachments affect current relationships. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Gottman-informed work is used for couples and relationship concerns to improve communication and reduce conflict. Attachment-based ideas guide work on abandonment, family of origin issues, and patterns of closeness and distance.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress, anxiety, and staying present. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Clients are invited to set goals and try small, manageable changes between meetings.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and focused exercises to map those patterns and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try experiments or behavioral changes between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance that are taught and practiced in session. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is reviewed. Confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow focused check-ins during a workday break. They also let people practice skills in everyday contexts and bring what happens between sessions back into therapy for discussion.03
