This is a basic suggestion and probably you have tried it, but have you tried practicing for the job interviews? Or just plain practicing having conversations? If you are expressing yourself in a confusing way, immediate feedback from the person might be a start toward helping you detect what is confusing to them and reword what you say. Just keep practicing until you get it right. It seems like your therapist would be a great person to do this with.

Just an idea....
