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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
