About Tia

Tia Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of clinical experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addiction, grief, and career transitions.

Background and approach

She works with a broad range of mood and behavioral concerns including bipolar disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation issues, and addresses family-origin matters, communication and commitment difficulties, adoption and foster care concerns, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Tia draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, increase self-esteem, and navigate life changes.

Her approach blends Internal Family Systems with cognitive and acceptance-based techniques alongside client-centered listening and motivational interviewing. This mix aims to help clients better understand internal parts, reframe unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and move toward practical change.

Tia emphasizes empathic listening and uses each person's life experience as a resource for growth and development. She works with clients by offering perspective, skill-building, and support tailored to individual goals and circumstances.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Internal Family Systems is used to help people explore and understand the different parts of their inner experience, gently working with those parts to reduce conflict and increase self-leadership; it can be useful for trauma, relationship patterns, and internal struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance to create a collaborative space where clients feel heard and able to explore their goals.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a client’s needs, preferences, and goals to determine which combination of methods fits best, and adapt strategies over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, try different communication styles, and access care from various locations while working with licensed professionals committed to practical, individualized support.
