About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma. She brings 15 years of experience and an affirming style that respects each person's identity and values.
She works in a warm, person-centered way that focuses on what matters to the client. Sessions often start with practical goals and steps people can try between meetings. She pays attention to patterns like worry, avoidance, and control that get in the way of better sleep and daily functioning.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, which she adapts to fit each person's situation. That can mean skill-building for emotional regulation, learning new ways to handle upsetting thoughts, or processing past traumatic events at a pace that feels manageable. She also brings experience with relationship issues, communication problems, and complex grief.
Dr. Des Roches has worked with people dealing with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, identity-related concerns, and caregiver or compassion fatigue. She also supports those managing chronic health issues, parenting strain, adoption and foster care topics, and neurodivergent experiences.
Therapy with her aims to be practical and collaborative. She helps clients notice what is working and what is not, then tries straightforward strategies to improve sleep, reduce distress, and strengthen relationships. Starting therapy is framed as a stepwise process tailored to each person's needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and working at your pace. It focuses on what you want to address and makes space for your values and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. If you need to attend from a different location or reduce travel time, ask about current session options when you book. Confirm which formats are offered so you can choose what fits your routine and needs.
