About Jessica
Jessica Griggs is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or compassion fatigue. Jessica aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can start to sort out what matters most to them.
She listens first and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Sessions often begin with practical steps for managing immediate stress and building small routines that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Over time she helps people notice patterns in relationships, communication, and self-image that keep problems repeating. Jessica uses a mix of methods that fit the person in front of her. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, cognitive behavior techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current ones.
For people with trauma, she may include EMDR-informed strategies when appropriate. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She aims to balance practical tools with deeper reflection so people leave sessions with both relief and clearer direction.
Jessica also pays attention to caregiver strain, first responder stress, and issues around fertility, body image, guilt, and shame. Starting therapy can feel hard. Jessica helps people take that first step and supports them as they set goals, practice new skills, and notice changes over weeks and months.

How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete strategies to change them, which can help with depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns people learned in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a more traditional session rhythm. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when scheduling shorter touchpoints around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
