Jessica Grimm, LPC

Jessica Grimm, LPC, helps people facing stress and anxiety find clearer footing. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable and reduce the overwhelm that comes with constant worry.

She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Tarleton State University in 2007 and has worked in counseling roles for 14 years. Early research work at the University of Texas at Arlington looked at stress, resilience, exercise, and health conditions such as cancer and diabetes. That research informs how she thinks about the links between behavior, mood, and physical health.

In sessions she draws on client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to test new ways of coping. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify what they want to change and find their own reasons to move forward.

Jessica also uses narrative and solution-focused approaches to help people rewrite stressful stories and set short-term, do-able goals. She works with concerns including relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career shifts, bipolar, and coping with life changes.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. People who prefer clear goals and practical tools may find this approach helpful.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and values. The therapist focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and adjusting pace and goals to fit each person's needs. This approach helps when stress and anxiety feel overwhelming because it centers the conversation on what the client wants to change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts by breaking problems into concrete steps and experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean starting with short, solution-focused steps and adding CBT experiments or motivational interviewing as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during life transitions. If video feels like too much, other session styles can be a shorter way to connect or to keep sessions simple while still working on goals.
