About Jessica
Jessica Pustka is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family and parenting concerns, and career pressure. Jessica also focuses on issues common in young adulthood, such as transitions and feeling behind peers.
She uses straightforward, skills-based approaches in sessions. Jessica helps people learn coping tools, strengthen self-advocacy, and build everyday routines that reduce overwhelm. Sessions often include practical exercises and goal-focused conversation.
Jessica aims to help clients clarify priorities and manage life changes. She draws on methods that teach new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions. People who prefer active, structured work on concrete problems tend to fit well with her style.
Before scheduling, Jessica asks about current needs and what a successful session would look like. She typically holds appointments during standard work hours, 8 am to 5 pm, which can help people balance therapy with school or jobs.
Her approach is direct and collaborative. Jessica pays attention to strengths and incremental progress. She guides clients toward habits and skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with your values. It can help when life feels uncertain or you are figuring out priorities after school or a job change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and work or study-related stress because it gives steps to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Learning these skills can reduce reactivity and help with relationship and family tensions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, and she checks in to see what is working.
The practical upsides of remote sessions include fitting therapy around classes, shifts, and commuting. If you plan to book, confirm the current session options before scheduling so the format matches your daily routine. Online work still focuses on skill practice, short in-session exercises, and setting doable steps to use between appointments.
