Tia Jackson, LCSW

Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, grief, and the upheaval that can come with life transitions such as a midlife crisis. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Tia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens closely and uses what a person already knows about their life to guide change. Work in sessions often focuses on building coping skills, improving self-esteem, and clarifying personal values and goals.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee, and a Master of Business Administration focused on health care management. She holds the LCSW credential and has worked across clinical settings for many years.

Tia draws on several common therapeutic approaches to match them to a person’s needs. That might include cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based work to help tolerate difficult feelings, or solution-focused strategies to set small, practical goals. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help finding motivation to change.

Sessions are intended to be a collaborative process. Tia aims to help people find clearer direction, greater resilience, and more manageable day-to-day routines. Anyone considering therapy is encouraged to reach out and review the match before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Tia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values while tolerating difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, midlife transitions, and adjusting to major life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as goals shift or progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer trips to an office, or an option to meet when travel is difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques for remote sessions so people can practice new skills between meetings and track progress over time.
