About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns, as well as ADHD, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Theresia uses clear, direct conversations to help people name what they are feeling. She listens to personal stories and looks for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing behavioral changes, and learning skills to manage strong emotions.
Her background includes focused study in marriage and family therapy and extensive coursework at the PhD level that concentrated on relationships, attachment, and codependency. That training informs her attention to family dynamics and attachment patterns when those issues matter to a client's concerns.
Theresia draws from several approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. She blends techniques to match what each person needs rather than following one strict method.
When someone comes in feeling stuck, she looks at both thoughts and behavior, and at how past relationships shape present choices. Sessions aim for clear strategies to reduce rumination, manage anxiety, and break repeating cycles in relationships. She also offers coaching-style feedback to build confidence and problem-solving skills.
People who are dealing with major life changes, career stress, parenting strain, or questions about identity and relationships may find her approach practical and straightforward.
How Theresia uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to reduce rumination, manage anxiety, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust. It helps people understand repeating cycles in relationships and practice different ways of relating.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Theresia will discuss what seems most useful based on a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
