About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people confront overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

With 14 years of clinical experience, she offers a steady, straightforward presence for clients who feel stuck, confused, or weighed down by emotions they cannot always name. She aims to help clients uncover what lies beneath the masks they present to others and to find practical ways to move forward.

Her work integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside attachment-informed perspectives. Theresia draws on advanced training in family systems and relationship dynamics to explore patterns like codependency, attachment issues, and repeated relationship cycles.

She emphasizes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach that balances empathy with honest feedback, and she supports clients in building skills for emotional regulation, improved self-esteem, and clearer boundaries.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Theresia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical strategies to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and rumination. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to tailor methods to individual goals and preferences. Together they consider which techniques feel most relevant and effective, adjusting the plan over time so the work fits the client's needs and pace.

Online therapy with Theresia is offered through several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to enhance accessibility and convenience. These options support consistent engagement for clients with busy schedules or limited mobility, allowing therapeutic work to continue from different locations while maintaining regular contact, skill practice, and progress tracking.
