About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people work through anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She knows what it feels like to be overwhelmed, stuck, and unsure of the next step. Theresia listens, reflects, and helps people find what lies beneath the “mask” they show the world. She aims to create understanding and a steady way forward.

Theresia uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to identify patterns that keep problems going. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-focused ideas are woven in to help with values, relationships, and long-term change.

Her background includes 14 years in the field and advanced graduate study focused on marriage and family dynamics. That training informs how she sees relationship patterns, attachment styles, and codependency issues. She applies that knowledge to questions about intimacy, setting boundaries, and repeating unhealthy cycles.

In sessions she aims to be direct, practical, and relatable. She works with people on grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, body-image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, and more. The emphasis is on making small, useful changes that add up over time.

Theresia sees clients in Florida and accepts international clients. She speaks English and holds a Florida LMHC credential. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange scheduling based on therapist availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Theresia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-focused thinking to help people manage anger, anxiety, and relationship patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can lead to clearer feeling and more effective choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help people understand repeated cycles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will adjust methods and skills so the work fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single style.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose a setup that suits their day. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, skills practice, and homework to online visits so progress continues between sessions.
