About Amy
Amy Jackson is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience. She practices in Mississippi and helps people who are coping with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.
She works with adults who are juggling parenting, relationship strain, addictions, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use when they snap at loved ones, feel resentful, or struggle to manage strong emotions at work.
Amy combines several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify what clients want to change and to strengthen their own reasons for taking steps. Trauma-Focused methods are used when painful memories are part of the problem.
Her style is described as open and flexible. She treats people with dignity and respect and works collaboratively rather than following one fixed method. She emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to real situations.
Practical skills and short-term goals are common in sessions. People learn ways to calm down in the moment, to shift upsetting thinking, and to plan for difficult conversations. For those facing grief or compassion fatigue, she helps with coping strategies and pacing recovery.
Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the platform's online options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Amy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep anger and anxiety active and to practice different responses. CBT typically involves identifying triggers, testing unhelpful thoughts, and building new coping skills that change behavior over time.Motivational Interviewing is used to help people sort out what they really want to change and to strengthen their own reasons for taking steps. This approach is conversational and focuses on small, achievable goals that fit a person’s priorities.
Trauma-Focused therapy is applied when past hurt or abuse contributes to current symptoms. It aims to reduce the hold of painful memories through paced work that respects a person’s readiness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made.
