About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who aims to make hard moments easier to face. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can name what they are feeling. She helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
Theresia draws on 14 years of clinical experience and training in marriage and family topics to look at what lies beneath the surface. Sessions focus on finding the roots of repeated patterns, such as low self-esteem, relationship cycles, codependency, and chronic worry.
Background and approach
She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, and stress related to caregiving or chronic illness. Her approach mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy with attachment-informed thinking.
That means clients learn practical skills for managing thoughts and emotions while also exploring how early bonds and relationship habits shape current problems. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Theresia also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in the client's experience.
She aims to be direct yet compassionate, offering clear feedback and hands-on strategies for coping and change. Many people come to her seeking clarity, better boundaries, or relief from rumination and trapped emotions. Based in Florida, she offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, letting people choose what fits their life best.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
The therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and rumination. She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and boundaries, which can be useful for intimacy, codependency, and repeating relationship cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her work too, helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility for people with busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while still working on the issues that matter most.
