About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She brings 15 years of experience and an affirming approach for people of diverse identities. Her work includes attention to grief, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.
Her style is warm and person-centered. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to each person and on practical steps that fit daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation skills.
Dr. Des Roches also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories and the Gottman Method for targeted relationship communication work. She blends these approaches with a listening, collaborative stance so clients set the pace and goals.
She works with a wide variety of concerns beyond core mood and anxiety issues, including body image, attachment and adoption-related topics, chronic illness and pain, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She pays attention to how identity and life context shape stress and resilience.
People who choose her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and small, practical strategies they can try between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How certain approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship. Online sessions can provide the same opportunity to be heard and to set goals together, with the therapist matching pace and tone to each person.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them. In online sessions this often means learning tools in session and trying short exercises or behavior experiments between meetings.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. When EMDR is part of online work, the therapist explains each step, guides the process, and checks in frequently to make sure pacing feels manageable.
Finding the best fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. This is a collaborative decision and can change over time as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around daily life and fewer commute demands, which can help maintain consistency. Some people prefer sessions without being on camera, or shorter check-ins when time is tight; others opt for fuller sessions to focus on deeper processing. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and can choose what fits your routine.
