About
I strive to create a collaborative relationship where clients feel comfortable, respected, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.
Hello, my name is Jessica Watt, a board-certified PMHNP with a passion for helping individuals improve their mental health. I care for adults in outpatient psychiatry and substance use treatment settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2015 and my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University in 2022. I primarily work with adults experiencing substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, insomnia, and other mood disorders.
I believe effective mental health treatment is built on trust, collaboration, and individualized care. I take time to listen to your concerns and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education and practical strategies to help you understand your symptoms and make progress.
Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone. Whether you are facing new challenges or struggling for years, you deserve compassionate care. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, judgment-free space where you can feel empowered to make meaningful changes. If you are ready, I look forward to partnering with you.

As a veteran who understands the daily struggles that can come with displacement and major life transitions, I offer a compassionate, judgement-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
My goal is to meet you and help you make the transformation you want. I truly believe everyone has the strength to make the changes they want in their life. Sometimes you need someone to walk alongside you as you navigate life obstacles and upsets. When you feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or uncomfortable, I can help you work through these challenges so you can live with more clarity, purpose, and sustaining joy.
I specialize in CBT, Relational Theory, and EMDR. What can I help you with? Depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, body issues, and grief. If you are feeling depressed , you can expect to learn coping strategies. Feeling anxious? Expect a safe place to work through it. Are you struggling with past trauma? You can expect a judgement-free support zone.
I believe empathy, caring, and nonjudgement are the cornerstones of therapeutic relationships and are essential for therapy to be a success. I look forward to working with you, so you can reach your goals.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Jonesboro, AR can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Jonesboro therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety is a familiar feeling to many of us; but when our occasional anxiousness transforms into a persistent issue, then it’s possible that mental health services might be able to better assist you. And with help from Thriveworks in Jonesboro, AR there’s no need to go it alone.
Our counselors, therapists, and psychiatrists can all help to treat anxiety. So whether you’re looking for a new provider or it’s your first time seeking out services, call our office to get matched with a professional who cares at (870) 359-8349.
The only way to get an accurate diagnosis is from a mental health professional, like our team in Jonesboro, AR.
