About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who connects with people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next. She speaks plainly and listens first, helping clients name what they are holding and decide on manageable next steps. Her approach aims to help people feel less alone while they work through painful feelings and recurring patterns.

She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also helps with grief, parenting strain, work stress, eating and sleeping struggles, and career concerns. Theresia pays attention to smaller, often overlooked problems like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and caregiver stress.

Theresia uses well-known therapies to guide sessions rather than a single fixed method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered ways of working. Sessions mix practical skills with conversations about how early relationships and life experiences shape current reactions.

Her training includes doctoral-level coursework focused on marriage and family therapy and family dynamics, which informs how she thinks about patterns between partners and across generations. With 14 years of clinical experience, she aims to be direct, realistic, and supportive when challenging unhelpful cycles.

People who want clear feedback and concrete strategies often report getting the most from her style. She encourages active collaboration so clients can try new behaviors between sessions and track what helps them feel better.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Theresia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT often involves clear, practical exercises and short skills practice that can be done between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also works from an Attachment-Based perspective, which looks at how early relationships shape the way people relate now. This approach helps when someone repeats patterns in relationships, struggles with boundaries, or feels stuck in cycles of codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresia treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you test different methods to see what fits your goals, needs, and preferences. She tailors strategies so they match your pace and what you want to change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about format options so sessions can be arranged to fit your schedule and daily routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
