About Tia

Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, mood disorders, and addiction-related concerns.

Background and approach

She works with clients coping with life transitions, compassion fatigue, self-esteem issues, and complex family matters including adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and divorce-related adjustment.

Tia also supports those facing trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and career-related difficulties, and she brings attention to specific areas such as abandonment, commitment and communication problems, impulsivity, and pregnancy and childbirth adjustments. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused techniques.

Tia aims to boost coping skills, broaden perspectives, and foster personal growth by listening closely to a client's life story and tailoring interventions to real needs. Licensed in Tennessee, she offers a seasoned background in individual, group, and family settings and frames therapy around practical tools and empathic engagement to support emotional and behavioral change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it emphasizes practical skills that clients can apply to daily situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, chronic stress, and difficult emotions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic, nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in discovering their own solutions and strengths through a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods or combination of methods best match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That process can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without geographic constraints, allow for real-time conversations or asynchronous check-ins, and can fit into busy days while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
