About Theresia Jackson
Theresia Jackson, LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings 14 years of experience to helping people make sense of what feels confusing, heavy, or overwhelming. She recognizes that when life feels like too much, it can be hard to name what is happening or know where to begin. Her work starts by meeting clients where they are, listening closely, and helping them sort through the emotions, questions, and patterns that may be keeping them stuck.
In therapy, Theresia focuses on what clients carry beneath the "mask" they show the world, including pain, fear, anger, grief, or numbness. She offers steady support as clients explore what is underneath, identify what needs healing, and build a clearer path forward without having to do it alone. Her style is down to earth, engaged, and direct, with a commitment to honest feedback paired with practical strategies for coping, resilience, and confidence.
Theresia is also a Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist and has specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She completed eight years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University in Marriage and Family Therapy, with an emphasis on relationships, family dynamics, attachment issues, child development, and patterns of codependency. This advanced training informs her work with individuals and families navigating depression, anxiety, rumination and overthinking, trauma and abuse, relationship attachments, low self-esteem, boundary challenges, and repeating unhealthy relationship cycles.
Her approach is eclectic and tailored, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Whether someone is managing a current crisis, working through traumatic memories, seeking meaning, or trying to strengthen relationships, Theresia helps clients understand why they feel the way they do and practice new skills that support lasting change.
