I just joined reddit to find a support group and above my avatar is willing_market_9857
What is this and can I delete or change it ?

Hey there - it sounds like you created your account through the single sign on feature. These accounts are assigned an automatically generated username that can be changed within 30 days of account creation.
If you would like to change your username, head over to your profile and a prompt should appear asking if you would like to keep or change the username. If the prompt does not show up, you may have accidentally chosen to keep the username and you would have to create a new account in order to have another username. Cheers!

That's your username. I'm assuming you made your account by signing up with your Google or Apple account since you don't recognize the name. Since you are posting now, your username is most likely permanent (you should have been given a window to change it, but I've heard that that stops when you start posting with it). You otherwise can't change your username.
There is a "display name" you can change, but it's only visible on your profile, not anywhere else.
