About Jolene
Dr. Jolene Des Roches is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship troubles, and LGBTQ concerns. She uses a warm, respectful style that centers each person’s experience and values.
Her manner is straightforward and supportive for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her approach is person-centered and trauma-informed. She blends practical skills with deeper work on patterns such as control dynamics, shame, and communication.
Background and approach
That can mean learning calming techniques, testing new ways of speaking up, or practicing boundaries in everyday situations. Dr. Des Roches also uses structured methods like cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical skills when they fit a person’s needs.
She incorporates EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate, and draws on the Gottman Method for relationship communication issues. Sessions focus on tangible steps clients can try between visits. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating concerns, career stress, ADHD, chronic illness, and attachment or adoption-related matters.
The work aims to reduce distress and build practical habits that help in daily life. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She listens first, helps set clear goals, and adapts tools to what actually fits someone’s routine and values.
Starting therapy is framed as a gradual partnership rather than a quick fix.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what’s said, and helps people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try tools, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant to daily life and real challenges.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and use brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in settings that mirror their day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral tasks for virtual sessions to keep work practical and goal-focused.
