Theresia Jackson
Hi, my name is Theresia, but you can call me Tee! I understand that right now you may be feeling lost, frustrated, angry, hurt, and depressed; believe it or not...I’ve been there! I get what it’s like to feel hopeless, scared, worried, alone, and overwhelmed. Right now, you may not even know what you feel. I know you have many questions, yet few answers to what is happening in your life right now. This is where I come in. Together, we will get to the root of what's beneath the mask. Yeah...that mask, we all have one. People may see us one way, but what you are carrying beneath it... That's what we will get through together. My goal is to help you identify what's beneath your mask, to help you heal. It can be exhausting, but you don't have to do it alone. I am here to help, listen to you tell your story, and help you figure out how to move forward in your life. More importantly, I am here to give you support and understanding so you do not have to do this alone. I promise you I will provide a safe place for you. Now, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an experienced Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master's level Marriage and Family Therapist, with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In addition, I completed 8 years of PhD-level coursework and research at Northcentral University, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy, focusing on relationships and understanding family dynamics, attachment issues, and patterns of codependency. This advanced training has deepened my understanding of relationships, family dynamics, child development, and how to address unique challenges. My expertise includes helping with managing depression, rumination and overthinking, trauma, releasing trauma, and trapped emotions from your body, relationship attachments, codependency, and more. Also, I work with people who have low self-esteem or confidence issues, and I provide effective ways to manage and reduce anxiety. I help you figure out why you feel the way you do and how you can change it. Also, as a relationship expert, I can help you understand why you may find yourself repeating unhealthy cycles in relationships, struggling to set boundaries, or even trying to figure out what you want. My PhD level education and extensive training in family dynamics, personality traits, and even societal pressures have allowed me to help many build and maintain healthy relationships. In our sessions, we will explore attachment styles and personality traits that can better help you understand your relationships. As a clinician, I go beyond the "textbook" version of counseling. By this, I mean that I understand the value of engaging with you, being relatable and realistic about your needs, and supporting you in your efforts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Structural Family Therapy (SFT), and Family Systems Therapy (FST) are my preferred therapeutic modalities. Aside from these, I have been trained in many other modalities, so my approach to therapy is eclectic. Thus, your counseling experience will be genuine and tailored to your specific situation. I am down to earth, and I am always available to offer relevant feedback and support. As you go through the current conflict or crisis in your life, I am here to listen and support you. Whether you are seeking meaning, managing depression, anxiety, difficulty in a relationship, or dealing with traumatic memories, I am here to support and help you. What makes me different? Well for one, I won't sugarcoat it. I will be honest with you and tell you what I see, because if I am not being honest with you, then I am not helping you. I will then help you to cope, heal, and build emotional resilience, and confidence, and provide you with strategies that help you gain clarity in your life. I understand this is a vulnerable experience for you, so I will support you every step of the way. In addition to this, I will engage with you throughout the week so we are not just meeting once a week, but talking, interacting, and working on the problems that led you here. This is a judgment-free zone that will give you the freedom to be yourself and discuss what is happening in your life. My goal is to build you up to the point of resiliency so that you can advocate for yourself. You may leave me a message at any time, and I will respond to you as quickly as I can with relevant feedback on your conflict. The process will not be easy, but it is possible. I make it my business to understand your experience and offer realistic feedback and interventions to help you. I see each client as unique, and therefore my strategies are genuine to your specific need. I am here waiting to help you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My name is Kellie Jondro. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and Rhode Island. I am passionate about helping people build coping skills and resiliency to manage life’s stressors.

I work with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, attention-related difficulties, emotional regulation concerns, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each individual's unique needs, goals, and experiences. I integrate evidence-based behavioral therapies with a strengths-based perspective to help clients improve emotional wellbeing, navigate life challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, attention-related difficulties, emotional and behavioral challenges, and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. My therapeutic style balances warmth, compassion, and support with direct guidance and accountability when helpful. I take a holistic approach to wellness, recognizing that meaningful and lasting change often involves multiple areas of life, including emotional health, relationships, work, and daily functioning. Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to openly discuss their experiences, concerns, and goals at their own pace. During the first session, I focus on building a strong therapeutic connection, gaining an understanding of current challenges, and identifying strengths, patterns, and areas for growth. Together, we begin developing meaningful and realistic treatment goals tailored to each person’s needs, values, and long-term wellbeing. I aim to create a collaborative space that balances emotional support with practical direction, helping clients feel understood, grounded, and empowered as they begin the therapeutic process.

Find a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida
Finding a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Florida, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
