About Helen
Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She practices in Washington and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she focuses on recognizing emotions, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and trying small changes that can shift responses. Her work often includes talking through current problems and planning practical next steps.
Her background spans community agencies, hospitals, and military-related services. That has included casework with children and families, marital counseling, and coordinating care with community resources. She also spent time as a psychiatric social worker on multiple hospital wards, including geriatric and specialized units.
Helen has experience providing counseling by telehealth and has worked online with insurance networks in the past. She asks people to pick a time, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to get started. Her services are provided in English and international clients are not accepted.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats available.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions that keep relationship and personal patterns repeating. It focuses on identifying the feelings under the surface and gently shifting how people respond to those feelings, which can be useful for grief, intimacy concerns, and some trauma-related issues.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting a person’s own problem-solving. It allows the session to follow what matters most to the person and is often paired with other techniques to make practical progress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that break old cycles, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide, together, which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include blending EFT, client-centered listening, CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing based on what is most helpful.
Helen has prior experience working via telehealth and has provided online counseling before. If you want to know which session formats are available now, confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can keep therapy consistent with busy lives.
