About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style is direct and person-centered. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers tools to change them.
Jolene uses several evidence-informed methods depending on the need. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with anxious thinking and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills support emotional regulation and reducing conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing painful memories when appropriate.
She pays attention to how family ties and parenting pressures shape everyday stress. That includes blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and communication or commitment problems that come up around caregiving roles.
Her work also addresses less visible struggles such as burnout and compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, body image and eating concerns, and neurodiversity-related challenges. She integrates Gottman Method ideas when relationship communication and repair are needed.
People who meet with Jolene can expect a practical, step-by-step approach aimed at changing what feels stuck. To begin, clients choose an online pathway, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a first session to review goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist uses that stance to prioritize what matters most to the adult in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactivity.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, try different methods, and adjust the plan as you go. That helps clients find approaches that fit their situation and daily life.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The profile directs people to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are more practical for caregivers and working adults.
