About Jessica
Jessica Wiggs is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and trauma. She brings a calm, matter-of-fact approach to sessions and emphasizes personal strengths and autonomy. Jessica frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals lead the work.
She has six years of clinical experience and formerly oversaw daily operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility. That role included supervising clinical staff and conducting psychiatric assessments and drug evaluations.
Background and approach
She has also worked as a victim advocate within a District Attorney’s office supporting survivors of abuse. In sessions she draws on practical skills for coping, emotional regulation, and problem solving. Jessica pays particular attention to trauma recovery, resilience, and building independence.
She encourages small, achievable steps toward lasting change rather than quick fixes. Jessica also addresses concerns related to intimacy, identity, eating and body image, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She works with people navigating divorce, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and co-occurring mental health challenges.
Her approach is grounded in listening, clear feedback, and helping clients try new behaviors between sessions. Clients can expect a supportive setting that centers their values and choices. Jessica describes people as the experts in their own stories and aims to empower them to pursue more fulfilling, self-directed lives.
Approaches for trauma, coping, and growth online
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach emphasizes practical coping and emotional regulation skills to reduce overwhelming anxiety and manage cravings; it helps people handle day-to-day stress and urges. Another approach focuses on trauma recovery and resilience building by helping people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable and by practicing grounding and stabilization techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what’s helping, adjust plans as needed, and track progress over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter updates, check-ins between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical support and progress.
