About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience who helps people find clearer footing during hard times. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what they are feeling. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people make practical changes that feel doable.
She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, body image and eating issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career stress.
How Theresia works
Theresia brings particular attention to attachment concerns, codependency, and the effects of adoption or abandonment. Theresia uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based work to understand relational patterns.
She also integrates client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies when they fit the situation. Sessions include straightforward skills practice, guided reflection, and checking in on progress between meetings. She helps people notice repeating patterns, set clearer boundaries, and build day-to-day coping tools.
The work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control. Theresia offers services to people in Florida and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on simple exercises, behavioral experiments, and tracking progress between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits; in remote sessions this looks like guided practice, worksheets sent electronically, and homework that fits daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and boundaries, helping people recognize patterns and try new ways of relating during real interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process continues as progress is monitored and techniques are adjusted when needed.
Online therapy with Theresia includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and skills demonstration. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or coaching into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice skills between sessions.
