Relationship and family-focused LMFT

About Jesse

Dr. Jesse Wallace welcomes people who are struggling with relationships, family tensions, trauma, or depression.

Background and approach

He speaks plainly and helps clients take small steps that feel manageable. Dr.

Wallace has 14 years of clinical experience and offers sessions in English and Spanish. He blends practical strategies with emotional work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) guides conversations about feelings and connection to reduce distance and blame in relationships.

Dr. Wallace also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values.

Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, like communication exercises and short behavioral experiments. Clients can expect clear goals and a collaborative pace.

The therapist listens for what matters most and adapts techniques to each person's needs. Practical tools and short assignments are offered when helpful to reinforce progress.

Dr. Wallace holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential (LMFT) with licensure in Texas and Virginia.

He has worked in clinical settings for 14 years and integrates straightforward methods to address communication problems, forgiveness work, and life purpose concerns. Work can occur by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.

International clients are accepted and the subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for connection and behavior in online therapy

Dr. Wallace uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then try small changes to test new ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to name and work with feelings that affect close relationships, helping partners and individuals move toward clearer expression and greater repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together whether CBT, EFT, ACT, or a combination will be most useful. This collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and relationship work, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between meetings. These options aim to make consistent work possible across different schedules and locations, and to match the mode of contact to the task at hand.
