About Jessica Murph

Jessica Murph is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). As an LMFT she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address relational and personal challenges. She prefers to be called Jess and uses she/her pronouns, and identifies as queer.

Jess specializes in trauma treatment for survivors of sexual assault, emotional manipulation, and mental abuse. She maintains an entirely virtual practice and provides services to clients across Texas, working with people from approximately 11 to 65 years of age. She has a particular focus on neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, and adapts interventions to meet their specific needs.

Her therapeutic stance is grounded in humanistic, person-centered values and informed by family systems thinking, emphasizing how relationships shape wellbeing. She draws from a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and the Gottman Method, blending methods to suit each person’s goals. Her work also incorporates trauma-focused strategies and relational perspectives when appropriate.

Jess offers an affirming, sex-positive clinical environment and supports both traditional and non-traditional relationship structures. For concerns around body image and eating she aligns with principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size (HAES), helping clients develop more compassionate, sustainable relationships with their bodies. Above all, she centers respect, authenticity, and self-compassion as foundations for healing and growth.
