About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Jessica also addresses relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
She uses a mix of practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage overwhelming feelings and everyday struggles. Sessions focus on clear skills and small changes that can reduce tension at home and work. Jessica combines cognitive-behavioral tools with acceptance-based ideas to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values.
Her work includes relationship dynamics, intimacy-related issues, and grief. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress. Jessica pays attention to attachment-related patterns and how early experiences affect present relationships.
Clients are offered strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Attachment-Based Therapy ideas are used to look at how past bonds shape current reactions. Client-Centered methods help people articulate goals and make choices that feel right for them.
Jessica’s practice also covers a broad list of focus areas such as ADHD, body image, adoption and foster care questions, abandonment issues, and career concerns. Her sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use between meetings.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anger that feels automatic or driven by stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help people understand why certain situations trigger intense responses. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can shift as needs change, with a focus on skills and steps that fit the client's life. Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when that helps maintain progress. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for remote work so clients can practice skills between meetings.Areas of focus
