About Jessica
Jessica Wiggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship struggles. She approaches work with clarity and practical steps. Jessica emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and building independence.
She wants clients to feel supported as they take steps toward change. Before moving into outpatient care, Jessica managed daily operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility. She also supervised clinical staff and conducted psychiatric assessments and drug evaluations.
Background and approach
That background gives her familiarity with safety planning, crisis contexts, and complex clinical needs. She has experience supporting survivors as a victim advocate within a District Attorney’s office. That work informs her approach to trauma and abuse issues and how to support people navigating legal or advocacy systems.
Jessica brings a steady, measured presence to difficult topics. In sessions she centers the client’s strengths and priorities. She talks through practical strategies for coping with life changes, mood shifts, and relationship friction.
Jessica also offers coaching-focused work when people want goal-oriented support for personal or professional growth. People who value autonomy and clear steps tend to find her style helpful. Jessica describes the client as the expert on their own story and sees her role as support and guidance.
She identifies as a Safe Space Ally and aims to create a respectful environment for diverse identities.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach is trauma-informed care which helps people process past harm, build safety strategies, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Another focus is skills-based coping work that teaches breathing, grounding, and problem-solving tools to manage stress, anxiety, and cravings.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend strategies to try. Sessions can shift as needs change so the plan evolves together rather than being fixed from the start.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let you use visual cues and real-time interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break during a workday. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, homework follow-ups, or coaching-style support easier between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to match format to the task at hand and to fit help into a busy life.
