About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a licensed professional counselor (MS LPC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship worries. Jessica focuses on clear, practical steps so people can feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people build skills and notice unhelpful patterns.
How Jessica works
Sessions often include learning specific coping tools, trying small behavior changes, and sorting through painful feelings. The work is paced to match each person’s needs. Jessica has spent over two decades helping people navigate major life shifts, grief, addiction recovery, and parenting stress.
She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, intimacy issues, anger, and career strain. Her experience includes supporting those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care topics, and attachment challenges. In sessions she centers each person’s story and strengths.
Conversations aim to increase self-understanding and build routines that support mood and relationships. Jessica encourages practical experiments between sessions to test what helps in real life. Therapy is offered from Mississippi and is delivered in multiple online formats.
Sessions can be video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People who prefer to start can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often includes small behavioral experiments and guided reflection to build a more meaningful daily routine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression and practicing new responses through real-life exercises and homework. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current distress and aims to strengthen ways of relating and emotional connection.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant to their day-to-day needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping the focus on building skills and making gradual changes.
