Jacques Noguess, LPC

Jacques Noguess is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people change their thoughts and everyday habits to improve how they feel and function. He writes plainly: therapy is about becoming the best version of yourself and moving past what holds you back. Jacques brings 14 years of experience as an LPC and a broader 29-year background in social services to his work.

He blends practical approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and challenges like addictions or sleeping problems. He also helps people facing life changes, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and career uncertainty. Jacques pays attention to relationship and intimacy-related concerns as well as issues tied to family of origin, commitment, and self-worth.

Sessions emphasize listening first, then choosing tools that suit each person. He draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, client-centered principles, and existential ideas. That mix is used to help people notice thoughts, shift unhelpful habits, and take small steps toward goals.

Jacques aims for clear, straightforward conversations. He offers guidance for coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and complex emotional states like guilt or shame. His style is practical and human, aimed at helping people find meaning and forward movement when life feels stuck.

Outside of work he is a married father of two, enjoys playing music, and values travel and lifelong learning. He practices in Texas and speaks English.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and take small committed steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and habits that maintain distress, and it often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using empathy and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process lets the plan change as needs evolve and as people try different techniques.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to an online setting to focus on thought patterns, everyday habits, and practical skills that help people move toward their goals.
