Jessica Murph, LMFT

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She offers an affirming, sex-positive approach and supports people dealing with ADHD, autism, depression, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Jess centers respect and clarity in sessions and aims to help clients build resilience and clearer communication.

Her style is grounded in person-centered values and family systems ideas. She listens for how relationships and past experiences shape current struggles. Therapy focuses on concrete skills and real-life changes, like managing strong emotions, improving communication, or shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based work, and client-centered principles. These approaches are blended to match each person’s needs rather than following a strict protocol. Sessions include goal-setting, practiced skills, and check-ins on progress.

Jessica has seven years of clinical experience and works with clients across Texas. She explicitly offers an affirming space for LGBT people and for non-traditional relationships, and she tailors support for neurodivergent clients. Her work with body and eating concerns follows Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size principles.

Her aim is practical: to help people navigate life changes, reduce distress, and rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships. She encourages collaboration so therapy fits each person’s pace and goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, which can help with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotions and trust, and it can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats the choice of methods as collaborative and flexible. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt techniques to fit what’s most helpful for them.

If you are interested in online therapy with her, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, and can make attending more consistent. They also let people work at a comfortable pace while practicing skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping tools, guide exposure exercises, and support relationship work across weekly appointments.
