Ruth Jackson, LCSW

Ruth Jackson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting strain, mood disorders, and codependency. Ruth’s background includes raising three multiracial children as a single mother and earlier work as a certified nursing assistant, experiences she says shaped her practical approach to therapy.

Ruth uses client-centered methods and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic ideas. She helps people set clear goals and builds treatment plans around those goals. Sessions focus on concrete steps, new ideas to try, and noticing progress over time.

She often works with people dealing with family problems, caretaking stress, grief over abandonment, life transitions, and career or financial worries. Ruth also supports people facing trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, sleeping problems, and LGBT-related concerns. Her experience spans many life situations and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Ruth describes therapy as a collaborative process and encourages honesty about fit. If she is not the right match, she supports finding another therapist who is. She emphasizes practical change rather than labels, and watches for small shifts that add up over weeks.

To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
