About
As someone who has experienced personal trauma and PTSD, I know how much that can affect every aspect of a person's life, and what challenges it presents to becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
Hi, my name is Jared, and I'm an LPC Associate with an M.S. in Counseling. I work with adults ages 18–63 navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship wounds, identity development, and emotional pain. I also support LGBTQIA+ clients exploring identity, shame, religious trauma, self-acceptance, and rejection. My background includes PHP/IOP work with complex trauma, substance use, personality disorders, and major life transitions. I'm passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and break painful patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and joy are important parts of healing.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while working toward healing, growth, and lasting change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I'd be honored to work with you.

I'm Keyane Jackson, a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges in a supportive, judgment-free space.

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is CBT because it allows the client to understand why they think the way they do and allows modifications to their behavior over time as they see fit.
I teach the following tools in anxiety therapy: body movement, deep breathing, practicing staying present, and creating intentional space for anxiety (at controlled times).
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they can identify when they are experiencing anxiety in real time and are able to implement tools learned in therapy on their own.
Clients can supplement their time in anxiety therapy with mindful meditation. This helps the client practice focusing and quieting the mind.
To prepare for your first anxiety session, you can start making a list of behaviors that you believe come from anxiety to process with your therapist.
Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Irving, TX can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Irving therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Millions of people are affected by anxiety disorders every year, yet many still find it difficult to talk about. Those who experience anxiety also sometimes struggle with feelings of shame, embarrassment, or low self-esteem. You may feel like something is “wrong” with you or that you your anxiety is something you should be able to “get over” by yourself. Tragically, these kinds of feelings delay people from getting the help they need from a trained therapist or counselor.
Anxiety doesn’t have to stand between you and the life you want to live. If you’re looking for help, the licensed professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX are standing by. Reach out today for help.
There are many types of anxiety disorders. One of the most common is called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). While everyone feels anxiety to some degree, generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by symptoms that interfere with one’s life and persist over a long period of time. There may be a clear reason for your anxiety or you may just have a general sense that something bad will happen.
There are many other types of anxiety disorders, including panic disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. The former is characterized by the onset of panic attacks while the latter leads to unwanted thoughts that compel you to engage in repetitive behaviors.
Our licensed counselors have experience helping individuals with a wide range of symptoms. No two people experience anxiety in exactly the same way but some of the most common anxiety symptoms include:
If you’re experiencing these or other symptoms of anxiety, you may want to speak to a professional counselor or therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Irving, TX.
Anxiety may feel like a terrible burden, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it forever. The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Counseling have helped many individuals experiencing symptoms of anxiety that range from mild to severe, chronic to acute. A counselor or therapist will get to know your situation and develop a personalized treatment plan to address your symptoms.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is one of the most common forms of talk therapy used to treat anxiety. Negative thinking patterns can feed into anxiety disorders and worsen symptoms. Verbalizing these thoughts under the guidance of a trained professional can help you identify their impact and make healthier adjustments.
Therapists also utilize dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, when treating clients with anxiety. This form of therapy teaches various sets of skills relating to mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The goal is to empower you to replace harmful behaviors with more effective ones as you work through your recovery.
Exposure therapy is another common form of treatment that is typically used for clients who struggle with a specific phobia or trauma. Clients face their fears in small doses within a safe environment to gradually lower their anxiety response.
If you’ve been suffering from anxiety, taking the first step may feel difficult. At Thriveworks Counseling, we’re here to make the process as easy as possible. We offer face-to-face appointments at our Irving office as well as remote therapy options by video chat.
We also have extended hours during the week and on weekends to accommodate busy schedules. If you are ready to get started immediately, we may even be able to introduce you to a counselor within the week. Just call or click our scheduling widget to get started.
