About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She speaks plainly and listens to the story behind the symptoms. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what you are feeling, she offers a steady presence to help you figure it out.

Theresia focuses on what lies beneath the mask people wear. Sessions aim to uncover repeating patterns, attachment dynamics, and codependent behaviors that get in the way of feeling calm and confident. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help you notice feelings, name them, and respond differently.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, and client-centered care. These methods are used in plain language to teach skills for managing rumination, anxiety, and emotion regulation. The emphasis is on techniques you can use between sessions.

With 14 years of experience and a background that includes advanced PhD-level coursework in marriage and family topics, Theresia brings a strong understanding of relationship patterns and family dynamics. She uses that perspective to help people who want clearer boundaries and healthier connections.

Theresia is based in Florida and offers services in English. She works with a wide range of concerns including sexual intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, ADHD, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and career or life transitions. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Theresia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and rumination. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then choose actions that match their values.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and intimacy. That approach helps people understand repeating cycles and set clearer boundaries in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresia will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She treats the plan as collaborative and adjusts techniques over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper exploration. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to pick the session length and rhythm that match your schedule and needs.
