About Helen

Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in TX and AZ with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and a range of other life challenges. She also helps with parenting strain, career issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and aging or caregiver stress.

Helen focuses on building practical rapport and clear communication. In sessions she listens to what is happening now and helps people set short-term goals. She uses straightforward techniques to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her approach is collaborative and goal oriented rather than abstract.

Her background includes hospital and community settings, military-related family work, and time-limited casework for children and adults. She has experience coordinating with community resources and arranging follow-up care when needed. Past roles included work on specialized hospital units such as geriatrics and traumatic brain injury.

Helen has provided telehealth services before and has experience adapting counseling to remote formats. She also has experience referring for psychological or psychiatric assessment when that is helpful to a person’s treatment plan. Her practice emphasizes clear planning, practical strategies, and coordination with other services when required.

People who choose Helen can expect sessions that focus on concrete steps and coping skills. She helps people break down problems, try focused interventions, and track progress. Her goal is to make counseling fit into a busy life and produce changes that matter day to day.

BHow sessions work

How Helen’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can identify what matters most and set personal goals; it helps with relationship strain, grief, and general life stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in close relationships and can help people address recurring conflicts and improve emotional connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Helen will review a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. The plan can change as progress is made, and sessions will focus on practical steps and measurable goals.

Her past work includes telehealth experience, so she knows how to adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning to a remote context. Confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking to be sure they meet your needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when helpful, and let people use exercises between sessions in everyday settings.
