About Jessica

Jessica Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as codependency and addiction. Jessica works with adults who are navigating life changes, caregiving stress, or patterns that leave them overwhelmed.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens for how patterns show up in daily life and helps people name what is happening. Conversations focus on learning new ways to respond, set limits, and manage intense emotions. Jessica uses a mix of approaches to match the problem at hand rather than one fixed method.

Over her career she has supported people facing grief, parenting challenges, career strains, chronic illness, and trauma recovery. She often helps people who struggle with setting boundaries, people-pleasing, or coping around someone else's moods. She also addresses attention differences, eating or sleeping problems, and issues tied to aging or caregiving stress.

Her clinical style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means sessions may include values clarification, skills for emotion regulation, thinking patterns work, and attention to attachment history. Jessica helps people practice small changes between sessions to test what works.

People who choose her often want practical tools and steady support while they sort out big life shifts. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the site's process to schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone keeps putting others first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns of thinking and behavior and testing new responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can include skill practice, values work, or exploring relationship patterns depending on the agreed focus.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let clients use sessions for focused skill practice or to work through emotional topics without rearranging an entire day. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and tools to match each person's situation, and this therapist will help identify the best format for the client's needs.
