Meet The Therapist

Jessica Thomas, LCSW

Hi! My name is Jessica Thomas. I am a Dallas-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 5 years of experience as a therapist. My experience comes from providing direct mental health and counseling to teens, adults, and couples. I have worked with individuals with various presenting issues, including parenting, anxiety, relationships, depression, family, intimacy, and much more.

I approach the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity and respect for all experiences. My experience is varied across settings. I have provided individual and couples counseling in the community as I worked with local non-profits. I believe that we are all products of our close relationships, our environment, and family systems. I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship and you with compassion, respect, and warmth.

My therapy style is drawn from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. I want to meet you where you are. I will always have your individual needs in mind as I implement a therapeutic approach and as we collaborate on treatment goals.

Therapy can be an amazing process. Thank you for taking the first step. I look forward to working with you and joining you on your journey.

Confidence & Self-Esteem

Do you struggle with low confidence & self-esteem?

Self-confidence is a person's attitude about their capabilities and skills. A person with good self-confidence feels like they have control over their lives. Self-esteem is how a person perceives their own value and self-worth

Signs of low self-esteem include: saying negative things and being critical of yourself. Joking about yourself in a negative way. Focusing on your negatives and ignoring your achievements. Low confidence & self-esteem can create anxiety, stress, loneliness, and an increased likelihood of depression. It can cause problems with friendships and romantic relationships and seriously impair academic and job performance.

Greater self-confidence allows you to experience freedom from self-doubt and negative thoughts about yourself. Experiencing more fearlessness and less anxiety. Greater confidence makes you more willing to take smart risks and more able to move outside your comfort zone. Having greater freedom from social anxiety.

According to the American Psychological Association, having high self-esteem is key to positive mental health and well-being. High self-esteem matters because it helps you develop coping skills, handle adversity, and put the negative into perspective.

Working with a therapist can help you recognize and reduce negative self-talk, develop self-compassion and help you with goal-setting, all of which are linked to improved self-esteem.
