Emily Jackson

Emily Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with eight years of experience providing direct mental health and behavioral counseling. She has worked with individuals ages six through adult and addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, LGBT issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes providing individual, group, and family therapy. She believes that a person’s belief systems shape how they interpret and respond to activating events, and that early experiences influence later reactions. Emily recognizes that close relationships, communities, environments and broader systems such as family, work, school and church all play important roles in how people experience their lives.

Emily strives to offer a safe and respectful environment in which therapeutic relationships can grow. Her style emphasizes compassion, warmth and respect as central to the work she does with clients.

Her clinical approach is primarily informed by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and by Person-Centered Therapy. She aims to collaborate with clients to tailor treatment to what works best for them, viewing goal-setting as a team effort because no one knows a person better than they know themselves. Emily acknowledges that beginning therapy can bring a mix of fear, anxiety, excitement and hope, and she is committed to empowering and supporting clients throughout their journey.

She holds a Master of Science degree and is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Mississippi (LPC 2647).
