Jessica Grimm, LPC

Jessica Grimm, M.S., is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She combines formal training and research background with a practical focus on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, addictions, grief, family dynamics, and life transitions to help people manage challenges and pursue meaningful change.

Jessica earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Tarleton State University in 2003 and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Tarleton State University in 2007. After completing her graduate degree, she worked as a research assistant at the University of Texas at Arlington studying health psychology topics such as stress, resilience, exercise, and health conditions including cancer, diabetes, and disability. That research contributed to a publication on the relationship between stress and exercise among college students.

Her counseling background spans career counseling, work with women who have experienced trauma, anger management, couples work, and addressing health-related concerns. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - a state credential that authorizes clinical practice - she draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic environment where the person's own goals guide the work; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and strengthening relationships. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily coping. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to support people who are ambivalent about change - it helps clarify values and strengthens motivation for steps like reducing substance use or starting healthier routines.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jessica works with each client to assess their needs, preferences, and goals and then tailors methods so therapy feels meaningful and practical for the individual.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local access to therapists. These remote options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to fit sessions into everyday life while working toward concrete improvements with a licensed professional.
