About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who centers her work on helping people uncover what lies beneath the roles they present to the world.

Background and approach

She welcomes clients who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship patterns, or challenging life changes, and she draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help identify and address underlying emotions and attachment dynamics. Using practical, evidence-informed tools, she helps clients explore patterns such as codependency, low self-esteem, rumination, and repeating unhealthy relationship cycles.

Her background includes extensive graduate-level study in marriage and family therapy and focused training in cognitive behavioral approaches, which she integrates with attachment-focused and acceptance-based strategies to create individualized care. Theresia aims to be direct yet compassionate, offering a down-to-earth therapeutic presence that combines listening with clear feedback and actionable skills.

She supports clients in building emotional resilience, setting boundaries, and developing coping strategies for stress, grief, addictions, and other difficulties so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Theresia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practice concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in clarifying values and learning how to accept difficult emotions while taking meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work on relationship patterns by exploring how early bonds shape current attachments and interpersonal responses, which can help with codependency, intimacy concerns, and recurring relationship cycles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, personal preferences, and the challenges they bring to therapy, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across distances and busy lives while allowing clients to access therapy in ways that feel most practical and comfortable for them.
