About Jessica
Jessica Sharib is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and grief. She supports those facing life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or addiction. Sessions aim to be practical, down-to-earth, and focused on steps a person can use right away.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then works with people to set clear goals.
Background and approach
Jessica uses talk therapy alongside tools people can practice between sessions. She emphasizes small, doable changes rather than big, sudden shifts. Jessica draws on several evidence-based methods to shape sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy inform how she helps people notice thoughts and try different responses. Emotion-focused and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and explores feelings. She also helps with everyday problems like sleep issues, parenting stress, career frustration, and feeling isolated.
Practical strategies for coping, communication, and managing anger are part of the work. Clients can expect concrete skills they can use at home or at work. Jessica has three years of clinical experience as an LPC in Texas.
She conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy methods translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger, avoidance, or low mood get in the way of the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for managing intense feelings and relationship conflict. It can be helpful for strong anger and for building steadier routines.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works jointly with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, daily life, and preferences. Sessions begin with what matters most to the client and then test practical tools over time, adjusting based on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
