About Helen

Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of progressively responsible experience in social work and behavioral health. She frames her practice around building strong rapport with clients and their families while offering timely, appropriate counseling tailored to each situation. Her clinical background covers program planning, development, and implementation, and she has applied social work principles in diverse settings and with a wide range of populations.

Helen has substantial telehealth experience, having provided online counseling from home through Aetna for at least five years, and she now offers online services again to support and encourage those seeking help. Her earlier work included service to military populations where she investigated cases of child abuse, neglect, molestation, and domestic violence for the Family Advocacy Program. She has provided time-limited casework to children and families, marital counseling, parent-child education, and referrals for psychological and psychiatric evaluation when appropriate.

Additional experience was gained in a state mental health hospital where she served as a float Psychiatric Social Worker across multiple wards, including units focused on geriatrics, traumatic brain injury, sexual assault, and forensic care. As a licensed clinician, she draws on this varied experience to support clients through transitions and to coordinate community resources and placements as needed. She looks forward to speaking with prospective clients seeking assistance.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Connection

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, supportive relationship where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people explore their goals, values, and choices at their own pace and is useful for a wide range of life and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It often includes practical skills and exercises to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other common challenges.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets how emotions shape relationship patterns and aims to strengthen attachment and emotional connection. It is particularly helpful for couples and families working through communication problems, intimacy issues, or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Helen collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. Therapists and licensed professionals work together with clients to tailor care rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
