About Jacques
Jacques Noguess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 14 years of experience as an LPC and a longer background in social services. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues around guilt and shame. He also helps people dealing with parenting pressures, career shifts, sleep problems, and life transitions.
He prefers an integrative way of working that draws on specific tools rather than a single model. Clients can expect practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered listening. Mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are also part of his toolkit.
His past roles have included work with people experiencing severe mental health conditions and neurological injury, and he brings that broader experience to routine concerns as well. He describes his work as focused on helping people clarify purpose, make concrete changes, and manage painful feelings without judgment.
Jacques has combined clinical practice with a long career in social services. Outside of work he is a father, plays music, and values continued learning and international travel. These life roles inform his practical approach to problems like commitment issues, forgiveness, abandonment, and body image.
People looking for a counselor who uses evidence-based methods and straightforward discussion about values and behavior can find his style direct and pragmatic. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling to make sure the first session addresses immediate concerns.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters. It encourages small actions that align with a person's values rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean trying short behavioral experiments, practicing mindfulness between sessions, or focusing first on immediate coping skills before addressing deeper issues.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for use over distance, including breathing and grounding practices, values clarification worksheets, and behavior tracking that fit into everyday routines.
