Jessica Grimm , LPC

Jessica Grimm, M.S., is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings more than a decade of clinical and research experience to her work in Texas. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Tarleton State University, completing her graduate degree in 2007 after earning her undergraduate degree in 2003. Early in her career she served as a research assistant at the University of Texas at Arlington, studying health psychology topics such as stress, resilience, exercise, and health conditions including cancer, diabetes, and disability.

In practice she applies that background to support people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, anger management, self-esteem and depression, addictions, family and trauma-related issues, grief, parenting and career decisions, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions. Her clinical experience also includes work with women affected by trauma, couples, and career counseling. Jessica collaborates with clients to identify strengths and practical strategies that fit their goals and circumstances. She is a coauthor on a forthcoming article examining the relationship between stress and exercise among college students in the Journal of Applied Biobehavioral Research.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and clarify personal goals in situations like life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns such as anger and certain addictive behaviors, offering practical tools for daily life.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that supports motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and reinforcing a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward. It can be useful for addiction, behavior change, and deciding on next steps in career or health-related goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support from home or other convenient locations.
