About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She aims to create a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard and begin to make small, useful changes.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and parenting stress. Jessica supports people facing life transitions and helps with coping skills for long-term conditions like chronic illness and bipolar disorder.
Jessica uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people understand their reactions and try new ways of responding. She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs.
In sessions she listens for strengths, patterns, and values that can guide change. She works with clients to set clear goals and practice skills between meetings. The emphasis is on building resilience and better day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.
Jessica’s background includes long-term clinical work across many concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care issues, and body image. People coming to her can expect steady support focused on practical steps, clearer understanding, and gradual progress.
Approaches and how online therapy can work for you
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while identifying what matters most to them. It focuses on small steps that match personal values and is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. Sessions often include simple experiments and skill practice to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve mood and functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships trigger repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each client to select methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines practical skill-building with attention to personal values so the plan fits the person, not the other way around.
