Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Thank you for contacting me through the Better Help online counseling program. My name is Audrey Jackson and I am a licensed clinical social worker from Michigan. I enjoy helping others find their purpose and to use the best tools to sustain their life goals. My clinical focus is anxiety and depression. I am skilled in counseling elderly adults, foster care families, and adult age men and women. I have worked in a telehealth setting, community mental health, residential programs, job training, and elderly home environments. I am sensitive to special circumstances that affect women such as domestic relationships, as well as the social stresses that impact male responses to the environment.
SPECIALTIES
My professional training is clinical social work with an emphasis on health education related to anxiety and depression and helping to improve health related outcomes. Cognitive behavior therapy is a centered approach of my counseling. I believe that individual thinking has a significant effect on personal choices. Learning to improve the quality of thoughts can result in greatly improved personal choices. Cognitive function is important in dealing with everyday stress, anxiety, and depression. I use a client strengths approach that allows individuals to identify their own goals and support for the skills building or resources they need to achieve their goals. Interventions include anger management, psychotherapy including analysis of prior family or interpersonal dynamics, and trauma sensitive counseling.
Years of experience: I began my social work career in 1985. I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Social Work in 1983.
Licensing: I am licensed as a clinical masters social worker in Michigan. License #680110568
I am also experienced in providing support for housing insufficiency, food insufficiency, liaison for local DHHS agencies, severely mentally impaired individual counseling, panic disorder, drug and alcohol assessment, self-harm reduction, and social anxiety.
Let’s get started on your successful journey!
