Jessica Aleman

Jessica Aleman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic, and questions about life purpose.

Jessica draws on practical, evidence-based approaches. She uses techniques from Solution Focused work, mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions typically focus on real problems and clear next steps rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes roles in community mental health, school-based counseling across K-12 and higher education, and private practice. That mix of settings has shaped a straightforward style that aims to link ideas from sessions back into everyday life. She also looks at the systems people are part of to identify supports and resources.

In a session Jessica will listen, point out patterns, and suggest exercises to practice between sessions. She keeps the tone relaxed and uses a bit of humor where it fits. Work tends to be practical - setting goals, trying coping strategies, and reviewing what helps.

To get started a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Billing uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and specific session options should be confirmed before booking.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Solution Focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what already works for a person. In online sessions this looks like setting short tasks to try between meetings and reviewing results together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new, practical responses. Online CBT sessions commonly include worksheets, brief behavioral experiments, and structured problem-solving exercises. Mindfulness practices teach attention and grounding skills to reduce stress and panic symptoms. These can be guided in session and assigned as short daily practices to build over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment can change as progress is made, and methods may be mixed to suit what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier by fitting into work breaks or other parts of a day, and they allow for therapy without travel time. Some formats favor more interactive exercises, while others are better for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Ask about the available session types when you sign up so you know what will work best for your routine.
