About Theresia
Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next. She meets clients with patience and directness and listens as they tell their story. Her style mixes honesty with practical guidance so people can start taking clearer steps forward.
She uses narrative ideas to help clients see the stories they tell about themselves and to rewrite those stories in healthier ways.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationships shape current patterns and expectations. Jackson draws on 14 years of clinical experience and holds the LMHC credential.
Her training includes extensive graduate study focused on relationship and family dynamics, attachment, and patterns such as codependency. That background informs how she looks at repeated relationship cycles and boundary struggles. In sessions she helps people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and the emotional effects of abuse, grief, and addiction.
She also supports those coping with body image, eating and sleeping concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or life transitions. Theresia works with LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, and various identity and attachment struggles. She offers a straightforward, empathetic approach that blends narrative, client-centered work, and behavioral tools so people can make practical changes in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Theresia directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and skills work together online
Theresia uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify the stories they tell about themselves and notice which parts of those stories no longer serve them. That approach can be useful for people who feel stuck in repeated patterns or labels that limit how they see their options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, supports clients in noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and boundaries, which is helpful for intimacy issues and repeating relationship cycles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Theresia will discuss different methods, try practical exercises, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and focused on your goals and preferences rather than following a single fixed method.
Online sessions make it easier to fit work into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, health issues, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
