Arnise Jackson, LPC

Arnise Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings a calm, collaborative style to her work with individuals and families. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas Woman's University and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from Amberton University. In addition to her LPC credential, she has completed a license in chemical dependency to better support people navigating substance use and recovery.

She approaches therapy as a partnership, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward the life they want. Her integrative method blends attention to values and meaning with practical skill building, guided by compassionate curiosity about each person and their closest relationships. Arnise emphasizes client autonomy and works to tailor treatment to each person’s goals, identities, and circumstances.

In sessions she helps clients clarify what matters most, build tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and addiction-related concerns, and strengthen capacities for intimacy and parenting. She strives to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect that recognizes complexity and supports growth. Rather than prescribing solutions, she guides clients through self-discovery and skill development so they can make lasting changes and lean into their strengths while learning to tolerate and accommodate their limitations.

Integrative approaches and online care

Arnise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. ACT emphasizes acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while building behaviors that align with what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT teaches practical skills for managing symptoms, improving mood, and changing behaviors related to stress, relationship conflicts, or substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Arnise approaches this collaboratively. She works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Arnise offers flexibility in how sessions occur - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access support from different locations within her licensed region. These options can increase consistency, make follow-up easier, and help clients practice new skills between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
