Julie Jackson, LCSW

Julie Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who emphasizes practical strategies clients can use right away. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going.

Julie frames problems as puzzles with many layers. She says solutions often exist but haven’t been identified yet, and she helps people untangle the pieces. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that add up over time.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and sleep or eating struggles. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, blended family challenges, and complicated life transitions.

Julie blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets her offer both skills training and space to process strong emotions. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented while staying responsive to each person’s pace.

Julie holds LCSW credentials in Texas and California and has primarily worked in mental health and healthcare settings over the past three years. She aims to partner with people who want practical skills and clearer thinking so they can move toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Using CBT and Mindfulness in Online Care

Julie often uses cognitive behavioral techniques online to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors. CBT sessions typically focus on setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people notice emotions without getting stuck and to clarify personal values. Mindfulness practices can support better sleep, reduce reactivity, and improve focus, while ACT-style work helps with acceptance and moving toward meaningful actions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on skill practice in some weeks and on values or emotional processing in others.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video is useful for deeper conversations and real-time skills coaching, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text works for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic tools as in-person care.
