Jessica Burger

Jessica Burger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Texas A&M University and a graduate degree in counseling from the University of Houston-Victoria. Jessica has four years of experience in mental health work and supports people with a variety of concerns, including intellectual disability, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship and parenting challenges, and trauma.

Jessica approaches counseling with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She believes people can reach their goals when given practical skills and steady support. In sessions she aims to walk alongside clients rather than dictate solutions.

Her primary clinical tools include cognitive behavioral techniques, but she adapts methods to match each person’s needs. She also uses client-centered ways of listening and integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing when appropriate.

In practice she focuses on helping people manage stress, mood problems, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like grief, anger, compulsive behaviors, panic, and caregiver stress. Jessica works with concerns related to attachment, abandonment, communication, and impulse control.

Jessica frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients learn skills, try new behaviors, and make steady changes over time. If someone decides they want different outcomes, she offers guidance and encouragement to take those first steps.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy, asks open questions, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend strategies that fit. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy vary by how sessions are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter setting or use audio-only if that suits them better. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to an online setting so the same skill-building and goal work continues in virtual sessions.
