01About Jerra
Jerra Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi. She brings three years of counseling experience and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and substance use issues. She aims to treat clients with respect and to help them make practical changes that fit their lives.
Her sessions focus on what a person needs in the moment. She uses clear strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts, behaviors, and daily routines.
Background and approach
Conversations are grounded and down-to-earth - the goal is to give tools people can use between sessions. Jerra also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and major life changes. She helps clients talk through communication problems, struggles with forgiveness, and feelings of isolation or shame.
When substance use is part of the picture she works on related coping skills and patterns. Her style leans toward practical problem solving combined with gentle mindfulness exercises. Clients can expect straightforward talk, collaboratively set goals, and concrete steps to try at home.
Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan changes if something isn’t working. Jerra provides services by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How CBT and Mindfulness Work Online
Jerra uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. CBT breaks problems into small steps and teaches skills for changing thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and substance use patterns. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help with stress, anger, and day-to-day mood regulation.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jerra will listen to a person’s goals and try different techniques together to see what fits best. She reviews progress and adjusts plans so the work matches changing needs and life demands.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, tracking progress, and on-the-go skill practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
