01 · Who Jessica works with

Jessica works with relationship issues, family conflicts and self esteem

Jessica lists 11 specialisms and 7 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jessica chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Jessica's own words

What Jessica says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a licensed therapist practicing in Mississippi and Tennessee, dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most meaningful challenges. My work centers on helping clients build stronger relationships, navigate family dynamics, and cultivate genuine self-love and confidence.

I specialize in supporting individuals/couples through transitions like divorce and separation, career shifts, and questions about life purpose. I'm passionate about helping clients improve communication, work through forgiveness, and address the unique pressures someone may often face. Whether you're struggling with family conflict, relationship concerns, or self-esteem, I'm here to help you find clarity and move forward with intention.

My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly heard and supported-not judged. I work with you to explore what's holding you back and discover your own wisdom and strength.

If you've been looking for a therapist who understands your experience and brings authentic care to the work, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.

03 · How Jessica works

The 4 approaches Jessica lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Jessica lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Jessica's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Jessica runs a session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Narrative Therapy

Treats the story you tell about your life as something that can be examined and retold rather than as the plain facts. Separates the person from the problem - “the anxiety” rather than “your anxiety” - to make room for the parts the current story leaves out.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Jessica practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jessica's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jessica at this point.

2. Naming Jessica specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jessica is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jessica.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Jessica

Built from what Jessica actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jessica's - Jessica has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Jessica's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jessica. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
