About Jessica

Jessica Burger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She earned a psychology undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and a graduate degree in counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria. Over the past four years she has worked in different roles across the mental health field. Jessica helps people facing stress and anxiety as well as depression, relationship and parenting concerns.

Before becoming an LPC she gained experience supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and with ADHD. She has also worked with those affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse. That background informs how she listens and what she offers in sessions.

Jessica’s style is respectful and down-to-earth. She believes clients do best when they learn practical skills and feel heard. Therapy often focuses on small, achievable steps rather than big leaps.

Her typical approach leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered work and mindfulness practices to help people stay present and make choices that match their goals.

Jessica emphasizes collaboration. She meets each person where they are and adjusts methods to fit what a person needs and prefers. That includes helping with coping during life changes, grief, anger, addictive behaviors, and attention-related challenges.

If someone decides they want to make a change, Jessica aims to support and empower them through steady, practical steps. She invites prospective clients to begin by completing the site’s intake process and scheduling a first session.

How Jessica Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful working relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects their concerns, and helps them set goals that feel meaningful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides clear strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then try methods that seem likely to fit. That means adapting techniques as progress is made and adjusting the plan when something isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online options helpful because they can fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing scheduling and how sessions will run is part of the first meeting so both parties agree on what will work best.
