About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, relationship concerns, addiction issues, and related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Theresia focuses on helping people name what they are feeling and look beneath the surface of daily life. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify patterns like rumination, codependency, or repeating relationship cycles. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming thoughts and provide practical ways to cope with difficult emotions.

Her background includes advanced graduate coursework in marriage and family therapy and extensive experience with family dynamics, attachment issues, and codependency patterns. Theresia uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and attachment-informed work to make sense of patterns that keep repeating.

In sessions she takes a direct, straightforward style. She will point out patterns she notices and offer concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving boundaries, and rebuilding confidence. Work often includes tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills to regulate emotions, and looking at how early relationships shape current reactions.

People who come to her often want clarity about why they keep repeating the same problems, or practical support while navigating grief, parenting stress, or major life changes. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can outline goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people understand recurring dynamics in their adult relationships. It can help when someone wants to change patterns like codependency or repeated relationship cycles.

Theresia treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and suggest methods that fit the work they want to do. Together they will adjust methods over time if something is not working.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so check the booking options to confirm how sessions are offered. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work, or caregiving tasks because travel time is removed. They also allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult, and make it simpler to maintain ongoing skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises like CBT worksheets, emotion regulation practices from DBT, and attachment-focused conversations to an online setting to keep therapy practical and focused on daily life.
