Jessica Rutowski, LPC

Jessica Rutowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience working with adults aged 18 and older. As an LPC - which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates formal training and state licensure - she creates a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel heard while working toward meaningful, attainable goals.

Her work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including adaptations for psychosis, and she integrates DBT-informed skills, person-centered methods, cognitive adaptation training, and supportive therapy into tailored treatment plans. Jessica emphasizes practical, evidence-based tools delivered in a compassionate and collaborative manner, helping clients develop skills they can apply to daily life.

She has experience addressing anxiety, depression, a range of mood disorders including bipolar disorder with mania and hypomania, and conditions involving psychosis such as schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Jessica also supports people dealing with suicidal ideation and self-harm, as well as issues related to sexuality, gender dysphoria, attachment concerns, impulsivity, isolation, and women’s health matters.

With specialized training in psychosis, she offers respectful, stigma-free care for people experiencing delusions or hallucinations. Jessica aims to help clients build insight, stability, and practical skills that support lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Jessica Rutowski uses a blend of practical approaches suited to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel supported while exploring their goals and values. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation and a collaborative space to process life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and skill-building. CBT can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood regulation challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in everyday situations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue working toward stability and skill development from wherever the client is located.
