About Jessica

Jessica Wiggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. She highlights personal growth, resilience, and increased independence as goals. Jessica frames clients as the experts of their own stories and aims to support steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Before moving into this role, Jessica oversaw day-to-day operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility and supervised clinical staff. She has experience completing psychiatric assessments and drug evaluations. She also worked as a victim advocate within a District Attorney's office, supporting survivors through difficult legal and emotional processes.

Her approach centers on helping people recognize their strengths and build practical skills for coping. Jessica pays attention to autonomy and independence when planning sessions. She encourages clear, achievable steps so progress feels manageable and meaningful.

Jessica works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family stress, eating and body image struggles, and problems related to mood such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues like codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue.

People who choose her often want focused, grounded work that aims for real-life changes. Jessica describes her role as supporter and ally, helping clients move toward the life they want. She asks people to bring their goals, and then she helps map the steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change and coping skills. One common approach she uses focuses on building resilience and coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety, teaching step-by-step tools people can use day to day. Another key area concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable while strengthening safety and self-regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, assess what feels helpful, and adjust methods based on needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to try and how quickly to move forward.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. If you are considering virtual sessions, confirm the session formats currently offered before booking. The therapist will explain practical options and help arrange a schedule that fits your daily routine and goals.
