More about Jessica
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Mississippi, with over thirteen years of mental health experience, with more than eight years consisting of master level counseling experience, which includes a wide range of patients in a variety of treatment settings. These have included providing counseling in a psychiatric hospital, inpatient and partial hospital settings, an outpatient clinic for individuals dealing with substance abuse, a community mental health center, the prison system, and private practice. I also provided consultation services in a variety of settings, including early childhood and inpatient substance abuse treatment.
I strive to bring an effective blend of experience, expertise, clarity, concern and action to the counseling process, and all things related to mental health and substance abuse, to maximize outcomes and provide genuine healing and wholeness to individuals, marriages, families, and communities. I also have a strong base of counseling experience working with adults in a wide variety of settings. Specialty areas include depression, bipolar disorder, general mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse.
It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change, and I look forward to working with you as an element of your support system, providing encouragement as you transition through beneficial change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
