About Jessica
Jessica Griggs is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in Tennessee. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at making change feel achievable.
Jessica listens first and then shapes treatment to each person's needs. She uses straightforward talking and practical tools rather than jargon. Clients can expect clear goals, small steps, and a focus on what matters most in daily life.
Background and approach
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, family-of-origin issues, fertility stress, guilt, and shame. First responders and people facing burnout or compassion fatigue are included among the topics she commonly handles.
Jessica draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She blends acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, and EMDR-informed methods when appropriate. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms while helping clients reconnect to values and relationships.
Her work is rooted in respect and sensitivity. She encourages small, achievable changes and partners with clients to build coping skills and clearer communication. Taking the first step can be hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Online support
How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises and home practices to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves processing distressing memories in ways that can reduce their intensity; elements of EMDR can be integrated into remote sessions when appropriate and discussed with the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it translates well to video or phone work with homework between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will talk together about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning helps decide whether ACT, EMDR-informed methods, CBT, or a mix is the best fit for a given concern.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let sessions feel more like an in-person visit, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into real life while working through stress, relationship problems, trauma, or depression.
