About Jessica
Jessica Willis is a licensed professional counselor with 23 years of experience helping people navigate major life changes and intense emotions. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can name their feelings and start to find practical ways forward. Her work focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and addiction.
She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and the ups and downs of caregiving and illness.
Background and approach
Jessica helps clients sort through career stress, self-esteem challenges, and changes that come with different life stages. Jessica draws on several well-known approaches to therapy, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She mixes these methods to suit each person, using straightforward tools and gentle emotional work rather than jargon.
Sessions tend to include chances to notice patterns, try new responses, and practice skills between meetings. Her practice pays close attention to attachment and relationship patterns, which can affect how people manage anger, commitment, or feelings of abandonment. Jessica also works with concerns like ADHD, body image, blended family issues, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Jessica sees clients in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
How Jessica’s approaches fit into online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting strong emotional patterns that keep people stuck. Online sessions can support this work by giving space to notice feelings and try new ways of responding in real time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take action even when feelings are difficult; ACT strategies translate well to short exercises and practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current bonds and reactions, and can be useful when addressing intimacy, abandonment, or caregiving stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you can adjust the focus as needs change, mixing emotion-focused work with skills-based tools when that makes sense.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short conversations into a busy day or to get support between sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other demands.
