About Angela
Angela Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions. She also supports those coping with life changes, anger, compassion fatigue, and attention-deficit issues. Her first aim is to make therapy clear and practical so people can use what they learn right away.
Jackson draws on a client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals central. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused and Emotionally-Focused ideas guide shorter-term goals and deeper relationship work when needed.
She has 16 years of experience in counseling and community work. Her background includes work with children, adolescents, and adults, plus group work, couples support, and family-focused sessions. She has also worked with people newly facing chronic illness and autoimmune diagnoses to address the emotional impact of sudden health changes.
Jackson has provided services in community settings and extended outreach into underserved Black communities and other communities of color, offering psychoeducation and resources. Her training includes a master of arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University-Nashville. She holds the LPC credential in Tennessee.
In sessions she favors plain language, short-term goals, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. People who want a respectful, collaborative approach that balances problem-solving and emotional work may find her style helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Angela Jackson uses Motivational Interviewing to help people identify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation. This approach is useful for issues like addictions, commitment concerns, and making lifestyle shifts because it focuses on a person’s values and choices.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, validation, and following the client’s pace. That style helps with anxiety, grief, and relationship strain by creating space to name feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in sessions to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments that reduce panic, worry, or avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That could mean focusing on motivation and small steps, working on thoughts and behaviors, or addressing emotions in relationship contexts.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are specified by the practice. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make certain exercises and homework easier to share and review between meetings. -
