Theresia Jackson, LMHC

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens to the story behind what you show the world. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, she helps you notice what lies beneath the mask and find practical ways to move forward.

She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Sessions often include exercises to change unhelpful thoughts, build emotional skills, and strengthen attachment patterns that get in the way of close relationships. She also works on practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and cope with grief or life changes.

Theresia has 14 years of experience and holds the Florida LMHC credential. Her background includes extensive graduate-level coursework in marriage and family therapy and research into family dynamics, attachment, and codependency. That training informs how she sees repeated patterns in relationships and helps people break them.

In therapy she aims to be direct and down to earth. She will listen, reflect what she sees, and offer clear strategies to build confidence and emotional resilience. Work in sessions can include talking through past wounds, learning new coping skills, and practicing different ways of showing up in relationships.

People come to her for help with issues such as low self-esteem, trauma, anger, parenting stress, caregiving strain, intimacy-related concerns, and career transitions. She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT-related matters and complex presentations involving co-morbidity.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting tangled in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction after major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people form more secure ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs, and preferences and pick methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made or new needs appear.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming formats helps you choose what suits your schedule and day-to-day life. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel. Others prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or bandwidth-related factors matter. Talk with the therapist about timing, session length, and how to make therapy a regular part of your routine.
