About Jessica

Jessica Wiggs is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-based help. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. Jessica writes and speaks plainly so busy parents can quickly understand options and next steps.

She previously managed day-to-day operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility and supervised clinical staff. That role included conducting psychiatric assessments and drug evaluations. Jessica also worked as a victim advocate in a District Attorney’s office, supporting survivors through legal and emotional processes.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and building independence. She centers the client as the expert in their life and looks for existing strengths to use in recovery. Jessica aims to help people take clear, manageable steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Jessica brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She practices in Georgia and provides services in English. Her background blends clinical assessment, hands-on advocacy, and supervisory experience.

In sessions she helps clients set realistic goals and develop coping strategies for everyday strains and larger life changes. Jessica supports people working through grief, eating or body image concerns, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue, and many trauma-related issues. She describes herself as an ally and a partner in change.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and processing difficult experiences. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping skills for stress and anxiety, like grounding and breathing practices plus step-by-step plans to reduce triggers and build routines. This helps people manage day-to-day tension and regain a sense of control.

Another approach addresses trauma and related symptoms by helping a person make sense of painful events and gradually reduce their intensity. Sessions include paced talking through experiences, building safety skills, and practicing new ways of responding to memories and reminders. That work often pairs well with support for addiction recovery and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jessica collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She regularly adjusts plans based on progress and what feels most useful in real life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comforts. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, follow up more often, and use therapy tools between meetings. The variety gives people choices about how and when they engage in their work.
