About Helen

Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience offering compassionate, practical help for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and many other life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a long clinical history across community settings and inpatient care, bringing steady support for people facing transitions such as caregiving demands, end-of-life issues, postpartum struggles, and midlife changes. Jackson's practice emphasizes building rapport and timely, targeted interventions to help clients move forward.

Her background includes work with diverse populations in community programs and a state mental health hospital, where she provided services across wards including geriatrics, traumatic brain injury, sexual assault, and forensic units. She has experience coordinating with community leaders and agencies to support placements and transitions, and has provided marital counseling, parent-child education, and casework planning.

Comfortable with telehealth, she has delivered online counseling for several years and now offers virtual options to extend access and continuity of care.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people clarify values, strengthen self-understanding, and set goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and reorganize emotional responses in relationships, improving connection and intimacy when relationship or family issues are central.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which approaches align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and may integrate techniques over time to suit changing priorities and progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options let clients fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication mode that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
