Helen Jackson

Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. Helen also supports people with work and career stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and issues around intimacy and loss.

Helen uses plain, practical conversation to help people find clearer steps forward. She blends Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused methods, and Motivational Interviewing to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on building trust, noticing what matters most, and trying small changes that fit daily life.

Her background includes work across community programs, hospitals, and military-linked services. She has experience with child abuse and domestic violence investigations, hospital psychiatric work including geriatrics and traumatic brain injury units, and running time-limited casework and parenting education. That range informs how she sees problems and plans next steps.

Helen has provided online counseling before and has worked with insurance telehealth programs. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps set goals and practical strategies. People who want clear, steady guidance and tools to manage difficult feelings may find her approach helpful.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Helen aims to support steady progress while keeping work doable for busy lives.

How Helen Uses Mindfulness, Listening, and Skills Online

Helen often blends Mindfulness Therapy, Client-Centered work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person sets the pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tries practical changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Their past work includes online counseling through insurance telehealth programs, but current session formats are not listed here. Before booking, confirm which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the environments where challenges happen, making work between sessions more straightforward.
