About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Florida LMHC with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship patterns, and issues like ADHD and addiction. She uses practical strategies to address symptoms and day-to-day difficulties.
Jackson focuses on identifying the thoughts, habits, and patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to each person’s story, points out patterns she notices, and offers concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her background includes extensive graduate study in marriage and family therapy and focused work on attachment, family dynamics, and codependency. That training informs how she looks at relationship cycles and the role of family patterns in current struggles.
Theresia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She draws from these methods to help clients spot unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and develop emotional regulation skills.
In practice she emphasizes clear feedback and practical tools. Clients can expect discussions about boundaries, coping skills for anxiety and mood, and exercises to reduce rumination. The work aims to be direct and useful rather than abstract.
She supports people facing grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, body image concerns, chronic illness, and many other stressors. Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns so people can make steady changes over time.
How CBT and related approaches look in online sessions
Theresia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include short experiments, thought records, and clear homework to practice between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and teach ways to accept difficult feelings while taking action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and attachment styles to explain why certain cycles repeat and to practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean leaning on CBT tools for anxiety, using DBT skills for emotional regulation, or looking at attachment patterns when relationships are central concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow sessions during a lunch break, or make it simpler to connect when managing caregiving or health needs. Therapists can also suggest shorter check-ins or focused skill sessions when that fits a person's schedule better.
