Jessica Gentry , LPC

Jessica Gentry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She draws on a trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective to support adults, couples, and families as they navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and other life challenges. Jessica emphasizes meeting each person where they are, helping clients identify existing resources and build practical skills that foster resilience and meaningful change.

Her approach is holistic, attending to emotional, relational, and situational factors that shape well-being. Jessica integrates techniques from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR to tailor interventions to each client's needs. She also brings specialized training in Trust-Based Relational Intervention and a Level One certification in Trauma-Informed Care, and she is EMDR trained with certification pending.

Additional professional development includes training in Cognitive Processing Therapy, motivational interviewing, psychopharmacology, suicide intervention (ASIST), and participation in the Behavioral Health Consultant Academy through Cherokee Health Systems. These trainings inform a collaborative, evidence-aware practice that prioritizes client strengths and long-term coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early and current relational patterns affect emotional responses and close relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. In addition, Jessica incorporates EMDR when appropriate - a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and history, and she tailors techniques from these modalities to create a plan that fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make ongoing care more accessible for those balancing work, family, or mobility constraints, and they allow clients to maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change.
