Services
My name is Jessica Watson, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing virtual therapy to adults in Texas, Colorado, and Florida. I support clients who are navigating chronic health conditions, neurodivergent identities, sleep difficulties, or brain-based injuries.
Whether you're living with one of these experiences or several, my approach is flexible, supportive, and tailored to your needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies, adapting these tools to help you function more comfortably in your day-to-day life.

Living with a chronic illness affects more than just your physical health. Therapy can help with grief, burnout, isolation, and the mental load of navigating an often misunderstood reality.
Conditions I commonly work with include:
Long COVID
Ménière’s disease
ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome)
Support may include:
Managing daily overwhelm, flare-ups, and unpredictability
Emotional support and self-compassion
Navigating conversations with medical providers and loved ones
Building boundaries, pacing strategies, and communication tools
Our work is shaped by your lived experience and adjusted to support your energy levels and goals.
-
Living with a brain injury or neurological condition can reshape how you function, feel, and relate to the world around you. Therapy can support both the cognitive and emotional recovery process.
Areas we may focus on include:
Improving focus, memory, and processing speed
Managing fatigue, brain fog, and overstimulation
Emotional regulation and identity rebuilding
Coping with medical trauma or seizure-related anxiety
Building daily routines and setting realistic goals
With specialized training in brain-based rehabilitation, I support your recovery through both structure and flexibility, always respecting your limits and strengths.

When sleep does not come easily, it impacts your energy, focus, mood, and daily functioning. You may have already tried improving your sleep habits — like limiting screen time or caffeine — but still find yourself wide awake at 3 a.m.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) offers a different approach. It is a structured, short-term therapy that addresses the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that interfere with restful sleep.
It may be a good fit if you:
Struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep
Wake up too early or feel unrested
Have tried everything and still feel stuck
CBT-I is medication-free and backed by research. Sessions are adjusted for your pace and energy needs, especially if you are also managing a chronic illness or anxiety.
-
If you are neurodivergent, you may often feel misunderstood or stretched too thin by systems that were not built for your brain. I help adults who identify with ADHD, autism, or other neurotypes develop tools and strategies that align with their lived experience.
Areas we might explore together include:
Executive functioning and routine building
Masking, sensory overload, and burnout
Emotional regulation and rejection sensitivity
Strength-based identity work and self-advocacy
Creating environments and systems that work for you
You do not need to change who you are. Therapy is a space where you can explore what helps you function more comfortably and feel more fully yourself.
-
Sessions are typically 53 to 55 minutes and conducted through secure telehealth
