Jessica Murphy

Jessica Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems including attachment and abandonment worries.

She brings 20 years of experience working in community, residential, and outpatient settings. Jessica uses a mix of practical techniques so sessions match what each person needs. That can mean learning coping skills for panic or addiction recovery tools learned over years of practice.

Clients who have had difficult histories find space to talk about what happened and how it affects daily life now. Jessica aims to offer a setting that feels safe and also encourages honest self-reflection. Sessions include talking through current struggles and trying out skills to reduce stress and improve functioning.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centered listening, and dialectical behavior strategies. These are used to build goals together and practice real-world skills between meetings.

Jessica also has experience with people who have faced intimate partner violence, eating disorders, dissociation, chronic pain, and substance use problems. She helps people develop clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steps toward greater daily stability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying specific strategies to shift them, which can reduce panic, worry, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connection and trust issues and can help with intimacy-related concerns and attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and try methods that fit what you want to change. The plan can shift over time as progress and needs become clearer.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
