Jacob Weissman is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Jacob is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Houston, specializing in OCD, anxiety, and men’s mental health. Jacob’s therapy journey began in middle school with an OCD diagnosis — the start of a lifelong passion for understanding the psychological processes that undergird our experiences. Outside the office, Jacob is a husband and father, a World Championship-winning air hockey player, and someone who’s navigated his own share of difficult crossings.

Jacob believes the stated reasons someone comes to therapy are often surface level, and there’s usually something deeper going on underneath. Jacob works to help you look at that deeper layer. He believes understanding leads to effective action — through genuine, curious conversation, he helps you see the patterns that keep repeating, understand what’s really driving them, and then take concrete, proactive steps toward change. For OCD and anxiety, that means specialized ERP therapy — building a hierarchy of your fears and facing them together, step by step. For men navigating questions of meaning, identity, and purpose, it may mean exploring what your version of a well-lived life actually looks like — and what’s standing in the way.

Jacob’s own journey through therapy showed him what the counseling space could be — not just a place to work through surface level problems or learn “coping” strategies, but a space where someone is fully present with you, dedicated to helping you see yourself honestly. That experience changed his life, and it’s what he wants to offer you. If something feels off — whether it’s intrusive thoughts that won’t let go, anxiety that’s running the show, or a quiet sense that you’re not living the life you’re meant to — Jacob offers a free 20-minute consultation to talk about it.

When asked to distill his approach down to one sentence - “I want to help people understand they are not alone, and that they have more resilience than they are consciously aware.”
