About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of clinical experience in Mississippi. She builds a calm, respectful space where people can talk about hard things and learn practical ways to cope. Jessica focuses on clear, steady support rather than quick fixes.
She often uses attachment-based ideas to help clients understand how early bonds influence current relationships and feelings. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer tools for managing anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Jessica works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, intimacy worries, and coping with life changes. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness, and codependency.
Her experience includes supporting people through both acute crises and long-term challenges. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and choose actions that match their values. She explains concepts in everyday language and sets small, achievable goals.
Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages questions about approach and goals.
Jessica aims to help people build resilience and clearer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical therapies online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling. It helps people recognize patterns in close relationships and try new, healthier ways of connecting.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. These approaches are useful for relationship issues, trauma recovery, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and daily life. If one strategy isn’t helping, they adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see and hear the therapist for fuller interaction, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it possible to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or long drives, and to use formats that suit how someone prefers to communicate.
