Jacques Noguess

Jacques Noguess is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people move past what holds them back. He aims to help individuals manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions so they can pursue what matters to them. His style is straightforward and person-focused, guided by practical therapy methods and real-world goals.

He brings 14 years of experience as an LPC and nearly three decades in social services overall. That background means he has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including mood disorders, trauma, and substance struggles. He also supports people navigating caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling concerns, and issues tied to identity and purpose.

In sessions he combines ideas from several therapeutic approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered listening, and existential questions to shape each plan. The result is flexible care that focuses on what the person wants to change and why it matters.

Jacques emphasizes practical skills alongside personal meaning. Clients leave with tools for managing strong emotions, habits that reduce distress, and steps toward clearer priorities. He aims to create a respectful space where people can name hard things and try workable next steps.

Outside of practice he is a husband and father, enjoys making music, and values learning gained through travel. He works from Texas and offers sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and improve daily routines. This approach often helps with depression, sleep issues, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses attentive listening to help someone make sense of their situation and choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort. That means trying techniques, checking what feels helpful, and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when life is busy. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting or a shorter format when that suits a particular week. Ask about available session types and scheduling when you start the matching process to find a plan that fits your day-to-day life.
