Jessica Wiggs , LPC

Jessica Wiggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. She works with survivors of trauma and abuse and supports people facing intimacy and self-esteem struggles. Jessica brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to help clients build resilience and personal agency.

Before moving into outpatient work, she managed daily operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility and supervised clinical staff. That role included conducting psychiatric assessments and drug evaluations, which gave her practical insight into acute care and clinical coordination.

She also has experience as a victim advocate within a District Attorney’s office. That work involved supporting survivors through legal processes and connecting them with resources, which informs her trauma-informed approach in therapy.

Jessica emphasizes personal growth, independence, and autonomy in sessions. She views each person as the expert on their own life and helps them identify strengths to overcome challenges. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world steps that support lasting change.

Her interest areas include trauma, resilience, and helping people move toward a life they want. Jessica notes the courage it takes to seek change and aims to provide steady support and practical guidance during that process.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Some common evidence-based techniques focus on skills building and practical problem solving. One approach emphasizes learning coping and emotion-regulation skills to manage anxiety, stress, and reactions tied to trauma. It helps people reduce overwhelm and respond differently to difficult situations.

Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior and then practicing new ways of relating and communicating. That kind of work can help with intimacy-related issues, codependency, and improving communication in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to review goals, try methods that feel appropriate, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to find techniques that fit the person's needs, values, and daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
