About Jessica
Jessica Wiggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and LGBT concerns. Jessica writes plainly and aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.
Before moving into her current role she oversaw day-to-day operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility and supervised clinical staff. She has also completed psychiatric assessments, conducted drug evaluations, and worked as a victim advocate in a District Attorney’s office.
How Jessica works
Those roles shaped her clinical judgment and practical skills. Her practice emphasizes personal growth, independence, and autonomy. She encourages clients to recognize their strengths and to use those strengths to face hard situations.
Jessica believes people are the experts on their own stories and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Her approach is grounded in real-world problem solving. Sessions can cover coping skills for anxiety, strategies for managing addiction, and steps for healing after trauma.
She also helps people navigate identity and intimacy concerns with respect and openness. Jessica brings six years of clinical experience in Georgia to her counseling. She describes herself as a Safe Space Ally and aims to create an environment where clients feel seen and supported as they pursue change.

Therapeutic approaches and online access
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skill building. One approach helps people learn concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and behavior-based routines that reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on recovery from addiction and harmful patterns, teaching relapse prevention strategies, triggers awareness, and stepwise goals to support longer-term stability.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked over time.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
