Jessica Aleman, LCSW

Jessica Aleman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Texas who offers practical, compassionate support for people navigating stress, anxiety, family challenges, trauma, depression, and life transitions. She has direct experience working with children, teens, and young adults in educational settings as well as providing mental health and behavioral counseling across community mental health, school-based programs - including K-12 and higher education - and private practice. Her background includes work with issues such as gender identity, family conflict, post-traumatic stress, panic, and social anxiety, and she also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and discovering life purpose.

Aleman’s approach blends Solution-Focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She emphasizes engaging the systems clients are part of to leverage available resources and creates collaborative plans that fit real-life circumstances. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a credential that indicates specialized training and authorization to provide clinical therapy - she aims to meet clients where they are with a laid-back manner and a candid sense of humor. Her practice is rooted in respect and understanding, offering a welcoming space for thoughts and feelings to be explored without judgment. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and she recognizes and supports that action every step of the way.
