Jessica Murph , LMFT

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on women’s issues and related concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She uses an affirming, sex-positive stance and aims to make therapy feel respectful and down-to-earth. Jess prefers straightforward conversation and practical steps that people can try between sessions.

She works with people facing stress, burnout, addiction, parenting strain, body image and eating concerns, and challenges tied to ADHD or autism. Trauma and abuse recovery, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue are also central to her practice. She brings attention to how attachment and early relationships shape current patterns.

Her approach blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based change and making space for difficult feelings. Client-Centered and Attachment-Based ideas guide a respectful, relationship-focused way of working.

Jessica practices virtually across Texas and frames her work around mutual respect and clear goals. She emphasizes body-positive approaches for eating and image issues and a nonjudgmental view of diverse sexual expression. Sessions aim to be practical, with tools and experiments to try between meetings.

With seven years of experience, Jess keeps the focus on real-life changes. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to shape therapy around their own priorities.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and testing new, more helpful responses; it often helps with worry, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits your needs and preferences. Expect some practical tasks between sessions to see what helps in daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options work well for short check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping consistent progress.
