01About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 23 years of experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard feelings and figure out what helps. She focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.
Jessica works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also helps people wrestling with sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her methods draw from several evidence-based approaches to fit each person’s needs. Jessica blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused ideas and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when useful.
Sessions aim to increase insight and teach concrete skills for everyday situations. In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then building small, practical routines people can use between meetings. That might mean skill practice for managing strong emotions, experiments to test unhelpful thoughts, or exercises to strengthen relationships and boundaries.
The work moves at a pace set by the client. Jessica’s background includes long clinical experience across many issues, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process. People who want steady, experienced guidance through life changes and healing often choose her approach.

04Online support
How specific approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small steps toward a meaningful life even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, mood problems, and behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions, helping people strengthen how they relate to others. Jessica treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to what each person brings, discusses which methods might fit best, and adjusts plans as work progresses. Goals and preferences help shape whether more ACT, CBT, attachment work, or some combination is used. Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face to face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions are a good option when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or to keep progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or travel, while keeping therapy consistent over time.05Questions people ask
