Jessica Peterson, LCSW

Jessica Peterson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Jessica also lists focus areas such as attachment and family of origin issues, postpartum depression, and challenges related to ADHD and mood disorders.

She takes a direct, practical approach in sessions. Conversations focus on current difficulties and what can change day to day. She uses evidence-informed methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions include straightforward skill building and problem-solving rather than abstract theory.

Jessica also uses attachment-informed perspectives and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are relevant. That means attention to how past relationships shape expectations and how couples or partners communicate and reconnect. She combines these lenses to address parenting stress, family conflict, and individual coping skills.

Her background includes clinical work in varied settings and a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Jessica describes practical strategies for mood regulation, managing anxiety, and improving day-to-day routines. She frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at clearer routines, better communication, and fewer crises.

People who reach out can expect focused sessions that aim for small, manageable changes. The emphasis is on skills that fit into busy lives and on understanding how relationships and early experiences continue to affect present behavior.
