About Helen
Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship strain. Parents who feel overwhelmed or unsure about next steps will find straightforward, practical support in her approach.
She keeps sessions simple and goal-oriented. Helen listens first, then helps people name small, doable steps. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people improve connection and communication. Her background includes hospital and community settings, where she helped people through crisis, grief, and major life changes. That work involved coordination with other services and referrals when more specialized care was needed.
She has experience with geriatric concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and blended family issues. Helen has worked with military-connected systems earlier in her career and has provided investigations and casework related to child welfare and domestic violence. She has also offered parent-child education and time-limited counseling focused on practical problem solving and safety planning when needed.
She has provided telehealth services for several years and is comfortable using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Helen aims to meet people where they are and help them build manageable plans to reduce overwhelm and improve daily life.

Online approaches that match your parenting needs
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each parent’s concerns. It helps people feel heard and helps clarify what they want to change or improve in daily family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for changing thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful parenting habits. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood-related struggles.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice emotional patterns and improve connection in relationships. It can be useful when communication and closeness feel strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors the plan over time, mixing approaches as needed to address parenting, grief, or coping with life changes.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing family responsibilities.
