About Theresia

Theresia Jackson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and related challenges.

Theresia listens for what is hidden beneath the mask people present to the world. She helps clients name painful feelings, sort out patterns in relationships, and trace how past wounds show up in current behavior. Sessions focus on understanding triggers and building practical ways to respond differently when tension or anger rises.

Her background includes master’s level training in marriage and family therapy and extensive PhD coursework in family dynamics, attachment, and codependency. That training informs how she frames problems - often looking at attachment styles, family patterns, and personality traits that keep difficulties repeating.

Theresia uses a mix of approaches aimed at real, usable change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills to shift thinking and behavior, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and committed actions. She also integrates attachment-based perspectives to unpack relationship patterns.

In sessions she is direct and practical. Clients can expect clear feedback, concrete coping strategies, and help building emotional resilience. The work includes identifying what is driving resentment or anger and learning steps to respond differently in the moment.

To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can learn their situation and goals.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Theresia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach for managing anger, anxiety, and depression. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when reactions escalate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and guide actions that matter more than reactive impulses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person, reviews goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life triggers and goals for managing anger and relationships.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt exercises so they can be practiced between sessions and applied where anger tends to show up, helping people test skills in everyday life.
