About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to listen first so people can name what they are feeling. Her style is hands-on and practical, with an emphasis on real steps you can use between sessions.
Jackson uses tools from several approaches to help people learn new coping skills and change patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She often helps people reduce rumination and overthinking, work through trauma responses, and build confidence after painful experiences. She also addresses addictions, grief, and challenges around intimacy and attachment. With 14 years of experience, she brings a deep interest in family dynamics and attachment patterns.
That background informs how she looks at relationship cycles, codependency, and boundary setting. She aims to help clients understand why certain patterns repeat and how to make different choices. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client.
Jackson will listen to your story, name patterns she notices, and offer clear strategies to try. She describes her approach as down to earth and honest while remaining supportive. Theresia works with adults on a range of life stressors including career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness impact, and the fallout from abandonment or adoption issues.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients for remote sessions.
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making value-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to reduce overthinking and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing rumination. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps you identify and change repeating cycles in relationships and intimacy concerns.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and planning small changes to try between meetings to see what fits the client's life.
Online formats make this flexibility easier. Video calls let you use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or you need a more focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people fit care around work, caregiving, or health limitations while still using ACT and CBT techniques and attachment-focused conversations.
