Jessica Gentry , LPC

Jessica Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, couples, and families, meeting each person where they are and drawing on their strengths to support meaningful change. Jessica uses a holistic, trauma-informed perspective to understand how past experiences, attachment patterns, and current life stressors interact to affect mood, relationships, and functioning.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career or life transitions. She also focuses on areas such as abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, caregiving stress, and domestic violence. Jessica integrates evidence-based methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Jessica has pursued specialized training and certifications to enhance her practice, including Trust-Based Relational Intervention certification, EMDR training with pending certification, and Trauma-Informed Care Level One certification, along with coursework in cognitive processing therapy, motivational interviewing, psychopharmacology, and suicide prevention. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect for individual experience, and practical strategies to build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica draws from Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current relationships, helping clients improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, and daily stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Jessica collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life changes, and maintain momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-based interventions effectively through these formats, and Jessica tailors session style and pacing to what works best for each client.
