About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what is under the surface. If you are carrying a mask of strength while feeling exhausted, she will work with you to name what’s beneath it and find manageable ways forward.

Theresia draws on 14 years of clinical experience to address a wide range of concerns. She supports people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship patterns. She also helps with issues like sleep or eating difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency.

Her approach mixes practical skills with attention to relationship patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment-focused work and a client-centered stance. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and understand how past attachments affect current relationships.

Theresia takes an eclectic stance, tailoring each session to the person in front of her. She aims to be direct and honest while offering steady support and clear strategies. Sessions focus on real-world steps you can try between meetings to reduce distress and build confidence.

She works from Florida and offers services in English. International clients may also be accommodated. To start, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step connects you to her practice and matches goals with a plan.

Step 3

How specific approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now; it helps people understand repeated relationship cycles and set clearer boundaries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering concrete exercises to reduce rumination and manage mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods and adjust based on what helps most. Sessions are tailored to a person’s goals, symptoms, and what feels comfortable in practice.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs shorter check-ins, wants to avoid travel, or prefers working from a familiar environment. It also allows regular scheduling across time zones for international clients when that is arranged. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so therapy stays practical and useful regardless of how sessions are delivered.
