Theresia Jackson, LMHC

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people make sense of overwhelming feelings. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help clients name what they are feeling and figure out practical next steps. Many come to her feeling lost, stuck, or exhausted, and she aims to offer steady support while they work through those experiences.

Theresia uses a mix of approaches in session, including cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She combines these approaches to match each person’s goals and situation rather than following one fixed method. Sessions typically include exploring patterns, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to stress and relationships.

With 14 years of experience and a Florida LMHC credential, she draws on advanced graduate study in marriage and family topics to understand relationship patterns and attachment. That background informs how she helps people notice repeating cycles, set clearer boundaries, and build healthier connections with others.

Theresia supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, grief, body image, caregiver stress, and more. She also addresses issues such as codependency, abandonment, and attachment difficulties. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming symptoms and help clients regain a sense of direction.

Her approach is direct but warm. She offers practical tools, honest feedback, and ongoing encouragement so clients can make steady progress toward clearer thinking and more effective choices.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Theresia often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT sessions typically include concrete exercises and homework to practice outside of sessions.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice difficult emotions, clarify values, and commit to meaningful actions even when strong feelings are present. Attachment-based work is used to understand relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods to match what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist check in together about progress and make changes when needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth sessions where visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support and brief exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
