01About Jessica
Jessica Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of practice. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, struggling with relationships, or dealing with trauma and addiction. Her style is straightforward and steady, aimed at practical change and clearer thinking.
She draws on several approaches to match a person's needs. Sessions often focus on learning skills to manage strong emotions, improving how people relate to others, and finding ways to cope when life shifts.
Background and approach
Jessica emphasizes small, doable steps that build confidence over time. Clients commonly bring issues like depression, anger, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, intimacy worries, and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing abandonment, attachment challenges, codependency, and substance misuse.
Much of the work looks at current patterns and how to try new responses. Jessica uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based approaches to help people live by their values. She also relies on person-centered techniques that keep the client's perspective central.
Sessions are practical and conversational rather than highly technical. Her background includes a range of community, residential, and outpatient settings. That variety informs a flexible approach that can fit different life situations.
She practices in Arizona and conducts sessions in English.

04Online support
Approaches for online work and practical coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters most. It teaches simple practices to accept difficult feelings and take action toward chosen values, which can ease anxiety and increase motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks issues into small steps, teaches coping skills, and often uses short exercises between sessions to build change in daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy places the persons experience at the center of the work. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead while offering support and reflection to help clarify goals and next steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan over time. That gives room to test what helps and keep what works.
Online therapy offers several convenient formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
