About Jacques
Jacques Noguess is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience as an LPC and a longer background in social services. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and issues tied to intimacy and parenting. He also helps with career questions, sleeping difficulties, and coping with life changes.
He draws on several therapy methods to address what gets in the way of daily functioning. Sessions are practical and focused on identifying patterns that began in childhood and now affect current relationships and choices. He pays particular attention to family of origin issues and how early roles or expectations continue to influence behavior today.
Jacques mixes structured techniques like cognitive behavioral work with acceptance-based exercises and client-centered conversation. He uses elements from dialectical behavior approaches and existential perspectives when they fit a person's needs. Mindfulness skills also appear in his work to help manage stress and strong emotions.
Over his career he has worked across age ranges and settings in social services, supporting people through crises, long-term concerns, and life transitions. That experience informs a straightforward style that aims to clarify next steps and practical coping strategies.
Outside of practice he is a married father of two, a musician, and someone who has traveled widely. Those life experiences inform how he relates to questions of purpose, midlife shifts, and fatherhood issues.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises and behavior changes, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, non-directive conversation where the therapist listens and reflects to help people clarify goals and make decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacques will discuss these methods with the person and decide together which techniques to use based on goals and preferences. That collaborative selection helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday problems like parenting stress or family-of-origin patterns.
