Jessica Murphy, LPC

Jessica Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical work. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people find steadier footing during hard times.

She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she builds trust and listens closely to each person’s story. Jessica also has long experience helping people with addiction and eating-related issues and offers skills for recovery and relapse prevention.

Clients come for short-term tools and for deeper processing when needed. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to manage intense emotions, and improving communication. She encourages practicing skills between sessions so progress holds up in day-to-day life.

Her background includes work in community, residential, and outpatient settings across Arizona. Jessica has supported people with trauma histories, mood concerns, panic symptoms, ADHD, and dissociation. She blends structure with warmth and aims to make therapy a space that feels steady and hopeful.

If someone wants to begin, she invites them to take small steps: pick a starting goal, try one skill, and notice what changes. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
