Audrey Jackson , LMSW

Audrey Jackson is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on helping people clarify their purpose and build sustainable habits to reach life goals. With a decade of clinical experience, she concentrates on anxiety and depression while also supporting individuals and families dealing with trauma, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, sleep challenges, parenting struggles, anger and self-esteem concerns. Her practice emphasizes practical tools and strengths-based planning so clients can identify goals and develop the skills or resources needed to meet them.

Audrey has worked across a variety of settings, including telehealth, community mental health, residential programs, job training sites, and elder care environments, and she is experienced supporting elderly adults, foster care families, and adults of all genders. She brings sensitivity to the ways domestic relationships and social stressors shape wellbeing, and she integrates trauma-aware interventions as needed. Cognitive behavioral strategies form a central part of her work, paired with strengths-focused counseling and interventions such as anger management and psychotherapy that explore family and interpersonal dynamics.

She also offers assistance with practical needs like housing and food insufficiency, liaising with local social services when appropriate, and assessments related to substance use and panic disorder. Audrey frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at improving thinking patterns, coping skills, and day-to-day functioning as clients move toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Audrey uses client-centered therapy to place the person's goals and values at the heart of the work - this approach emphasizes listening, collaboration, and building on the strengths a person already has to make meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, another cornerstone of her practice, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and enhance daily functioning. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Audrey approaches it collaboratively. She and the client review concerns, goals, and preferences to determine which strategies make the most sense, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Audrey is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These options allow clients to engage in regular, accessible care while tailoring session formats to what feels most comfortable and practical for their life.
