Jessica Wiggs, LPC

Jessica Wiggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on relationships, stress, anxiety, and trauma. She frames therapy around personal growth and independence. She asks clients to identify their strengths and goals, then supports steps toward lasting change.

Jessica draws on six years of clinical experience. She previously managed daily operations at an inpatient psychiatric facility and supervised clinical staff. That background included psychiatric assessments, drug evaluations, and work as a victim advocate in a District Attorney’s office.

In sessions she centers resilience and practical problem solving. She helps people who are coping with addiction, relationship struggles, and the effects of abuse or trauma. Her work also addresses intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, caregiver stress, and burnout from compassion fatigue.

Jessica values autonomy and collaboration. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and builds on existing strengths. Expect concrete goals, step-by-step planning, and encouragement to try new ways of handling life’s challenges.

Her interests include abandonment and attachment wounds, communication problems, codependency, and navigating divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with complex presentations such as co-morbidity, dissociation, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder.

Jessica provides an affirming approach for LGBT clients and those involved in BDSM, kink, or alternative sex cultures. She aims to create a supportive space where people can pursue greater resilience, clearer boundaries, and a more satisfying life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building resilience and practical skills. One common approach she relies on teaches concrete coping tools for stress and anxiety, like planning small behavior changes and practicing grounding skills to reduce overwhelm. This helps people who need tools to manage daily symptoms and regain a sense of control.

Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which pays attention to safety, pacing, and how past harm affects current relationships. This approach helps people work through trauma, intimacy concerns, and communication problems while honoring personal boundaries and readiness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients help shape which techniques are emphasized and how progress is measured.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer commute hassles, simpler scheduling around work or caregiving, and easier check-ins when time is tight. It can also allow shorter or more frequent meetings when that better supports short-term goals.
