About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and LGBTQ issues. Her practice also addresses a broad range of related concerns such as grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and occupational stress.
She uses clear, structured methods in sessions and focuses on noticing thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s goals central and on DBT and EMDR when those methods fit the concern.
Her experience includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum experiences, and complex trauma responses such as dissociation. She has also helped people with commitment and communication difficulties, blended family challenges, and a range of mood-related problems including bipolar presentations.
Sessions aim to combine practical skills with talk-based reflection. That can mean practicing behavioral experiments, learning emotion regulation tools, or processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Dr. Des Roches describes the process as collaborative and paced according to each person’s comfort.
She practices in Texas and conducts work in English. Costs vary by location and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Des Roches commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear homework tasks and short experiments that can be done between meetings to track progress.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person’s goals and preferences and keeps decisions collaborative. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when those skills are useful for managing intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels manageable, then recommend one or more methods to try. Decisions about technique and pacing are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.
