Helen Jackson, LCSW

Helen Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of progressive experience in social work and clinical practice. She brings long-term expertise in behavioral and mental health, program planning, development, and implementation, and emphasizes building strong rapport with clients and their families while providing focused, timely counseling.

Her background includes substantial telehealth experience, having provided online counseling through Aetna for at least five years. That remote work complements a broad career serving diverse populations in varied settings and creating effective community networks to support placement and smooth transitions at discharge when needed.

Helen's earlier roles involved work with military communities, where she investigated cases of child abuse, neglect, sexual molestation, and domestic violence and reported findings to the Family Advocacy Program (FAP). In agency settings she delivered sensitive, time-limited casework for children and families, offered marital counseling, provided parent-child education, and referred clients for psychological or psychiatric evaluation and treatment when appropriate.

She also served as a psychiatric social worker in a state mental health hospital, working as a float across wards that included specialized units such as geriatrics, traumatic brain injury (TBI), sexual assault, and forensics. Throughout her career she has combined clinical approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
