Dr. Jackson is a truly exceptional therapist. One of her standout qualities is her consistency; she is always there for me, ready to listen and offer guidance. Her grounded approach and voice of reason have helped me navigate through some of my toughest times. I also appreciate how she occasionally shares personal anecdotes, which help me put things into perspective and make me feel less alone. Additionally, Dr. Jackson is a great cheerleader, offering encouragement and support when I need it most. Overall, she is a beautiful person both inside and out, and I feel incredibly comfortable and safe in her presence. I highly recommend Dr. Jackson to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Dr. Jackson was of great help in this season of my life. She is a great listener, wise, kind and intelligent.

Her counsel was timely in my life.
