Jessica Murph , LMFT

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who offers virtual, affirming care to people across Texas. She uses she/her pronouns and identifies as queer, creating a practice that centers inclusivity and respect. Her work focuses on trauma recovery for survivors of sexual assault, emotional manipulation, and mental abuse, and she provides therapy to people aged 11 to 65.

Jessica has a particular interest in supporting neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and adapts her approach to meet each person’s unique needs. Grounded in a humanistic, person-centered philosophy, she emphasizes mutual respect and relationship dynamics drawing on family systems perspectives. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, the Gottman Method, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to individual goals.

She affirms a sex-positive stance and works with both traditional and non-traditional relationships, offering care that honors diverse sexual expressions and identities. When addressing body image and eating concerns, Jessica aligns with Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size principles to support a compassionate relationship with the body. Her aim is to help people build resilience, authenticity, and stronger connections with themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Jessica draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and helps people build more secure connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, giving clients a supportive space to explore their experiences and decide the direction of therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing to the individual, adjusting as progress and circumstances evolve.

Because her practice is fully virtual across Texas, sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options supports flexibility in scheduling, easier access from home or other locations, and the ability to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
