About Jessica

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, family challenges, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also attends to compassion fatigue and a range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and communication or control difficulties. Working from a humanistic, person-centered orientation, Jessica blends relational understanding with practical skills.

She draws on Internal Family Systems principles alongside evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients identify internal parts, clarify values, and practice new responses. Her practice emphasizes respect, affirmation, and an individualized approach that adapts methods to each person’s situation and goals.

Jessica brings seven years of clinical experience to her work and holds a Texas LMFT license (TX LMFT 202947). She offers virtual services across Texas and frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at building resilience, fostering self-compassion, and improving daily functioning and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients identify and dialogue with different internal parts to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma; online sessions can use guided exploration and reflective questioning to support that inner work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to value-driven action, which can be practiced through in-session exercises and between-session tasks to build psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns and how early connections shape current relationships, helping clients develop new ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities emerge. This process prioritizes the person’s experience and aims to match techniques to what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work from home. These formats support consistent engagement, allow for a range of interactive exercises, and make it possible to maintain continuity of care for clients across Texas.
