About Jessica
Jessica Willis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Mississippi with 23 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other concerns. Jessica helps people who are dealing with career strain, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and life changes.
Her work combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based ideas and practical methods drawn from CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions center on naming and working with difficult emotions and how those feelings affect everyday relationships and choices. She uses client-centered principles to listen, reflect, and support people as they try different ways of coping.
Jessica has a long record helping people with co-occurring issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, ADHD, and grief. She also addresses more specific topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and commitment concerns. Her practice includes support around eating and sleeping problems, anger, and self-esteem.
In sessions she focuses on realistic steps and skills people can use between appointments. She talks through patterns, helps identify what matters most, and practices new responses. The goal is clearer understanding and more workable habits rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with the feelings that shape relationships and personal patterns. It focuses on recognizing emotional responses and shifting how people interact with themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist and client discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Finding the right mix of EFT, ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques is part of the process and can change over time based on what works for the client.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a break at work, or sessions without video reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice skills, review patterns, and plan small steps to try between meetings. Ask about available formats when you match and schedule your first session.
