Adrienne Jackson, LISW-CP

Adrienne Jackson is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Certified Private Practitioner (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with 3 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her work also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues commonly faced by young adults and women.

Adrienne uses a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She listens to what feels most pressing and then helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. From there she and the client try concrete strategies to change thinking patterns and everyday responses.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. She also uses client-centered techniques to follow a person’s lead and motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, achievable goals and measure progress.

Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as communication practices and short behavioral experiments. Adrienne pays attention to cultural background and family of origin factors that affect how people relate to others and themselves.

People who choose her work with practical steps and regular check-ins. The approach is organized and goal-oriented, with room for talking through feelings and for practicing new ways of responding.
