Background and approach
People who feel isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck often seek her support. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside a supportive, client-centered way of listening. That means she pays attention to what matters to each person and helps them try different ways of thinking and behaving.
She brings compassion and straightforward feedback to help people make small, practical changes. Her background includes collaborating with school staff and probation officers to support behavior change and manage difficult situations. That experience informs her approach to practical problem solving and safety planning when needed.
Clients can expect a collaborative atmosphere where their goals guide the work. Dr. Jackson aims to help people build skills to handle stress, process loss, and move toward healthier daily routines.

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online
Dr. Jackson uses Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people tell their story and change unhelpful patterns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems and reframe difficult events so they feel less defining. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and handle impulses.Finding the right way to work is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversation and real-time visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coping skills practice, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change.
