Tia Jackson, LCSW

Tia Jackson, LCSW, helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and the strains of caregiving. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at building coping skills and strengthening self-esteem.

She uses clients' lived experiences as the starting point for change. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and offering new ways to manage hard moments. Tia draws on tools from acceptance and commitment work, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to match what a person needs.

With 27 years of practice, she has worked in a range of settings and with many life stages. That background informs how she notices patterns and suggests clear steps people can try between meetings. She keeps language simple and practical so ideas can be used right away.

Tia holds a Master of Science in Social Work and a Master of Business Administration with a focus on health care management, and she carries the LCSW credential. Her training and long experience guide how she helps people set realistic goals and track small changes over time.

People who meet with her can expect calm, attentive listening and direct feedback when it helps. The work is collaborative - she and the person decide what to try and how to measure progress. Her style aims to make therapy useful in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting tangled in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction for daily choices.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and respect for the person’s perspective. It aims to build trust and self-understanding, which can be useful for improving self-esteem, coping with grief, or processing difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches specific skills to change patterns that cause distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stressful life events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be more consistent with daily life.
