About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and a wide range of relationship and life challenges.
Theresia focuses on helping people name what they feel and uncover what lies beneath the mask they present to others. Sessions tend to look like clear conversation about current struggles, noticing patterns, and learning small, practical strategies to reduce overwhelm. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address emotions and attachment experiences that shape relationships and personal responses.
Her background includes advanced, PhD-level coursework and research in marriage and family therapy and training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That training informs how she talks about family dynamics, attachment, repeating patterns, and codependency. She uses approaches that help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress.
In practice she helps people track symptoms such as rumination, low self-esteem, anxiety, and trapped emotions tied to trauma. She also works with concerns like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and sexual diversity topics such as BDSM and kink culture when those issues arise in conversation.
Theresia favors straightforward feedback and practical tools alongside deeper emotional work. She aims to help clients build emotional awareness, clearer boundaries, and stronger coping skills so they can make changes that feel manageable over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It can help when strong feelings are hard to name or when relational patterns feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, rumination, and moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and behaviors in relationships and supports understanding those patterns.Choosing the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path from the start.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match daily routines. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when they have limited time, while others choose longer sessions for deeper emotional work. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements can fit your life.
