Getting to know Jennifer Jackson

Hello, my name is Jennifer Lee Jackson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and a licensed Social Worker in Ohio. I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and hold a Bachelor's degree from Wilberforce University. I approach therapy with the intention of creating an egalitarian relationship in which we partner to achieve your mental health goals. My approach I am an eclectic therapist who often uses CBT, DBT, couples, and Psychodynamic approaches. I create an environment to utilize different theories and techniques to meet clients where they are that day. My focus I serve clients living with depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Excoriation Disorder, addiction, unhelpful thinking styles, low self-esteem, codependency, poor boundary setting, PMDD, and trauma. My communication style I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, normalized, and not judged. I provide reassurance that they are free and safe to discuss their symptoms, thoughts, and experiences when ready. My journey to therapy I have served as an outpatient case manager, crisis clinician, health officer, family therapist, pediatric psychiatric social worker, and inpatient clinical therapist. I enjoy helping people manage their thoughts, feelings, and experiences to achieve their personal and professional goals. I am passionate about breaking the stigma around living with mental illness. My goals for you I enjoy collaborating with clients to develop goals that are important and unique-realistic, reachable, and measurable. My first session with you During our first session, I provide my contact information so I am accessible. I complete an assessment exploring symptoms, family history, relationships, daily functioning, and treatment goals. We develop a schedule for meetings, identify goals, and determine if additional individuals should be incorporated into sessions.
