Our therapists offer christian counseling in Jackson, MS

I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.

In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.

I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

I am Venessia Johnson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who is passionate about helping individuals improve their emotional well-being and quality of life. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, anger and other emotional challenges. My clients often have goals such as learning how to better process and control their emotional challenges. They also seek tools and skills to manage anger, increase self-esteem and develop coping skills. Others come to therapy because they want to become a better version of themselves-not only for themselves but also for the people they love.

In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's needs. CBT is utilized to help clients develop healthier thought patterns. Additionally, DBT is utilized to provide tools for emotional regulation and healthier relationships. Other practical therapeutic approaches include "Journaling, Mindfulness, and development of Coping Skills".

Taking the first step toward wholeness, healing and resilience can feel overwhelming. However, I invite you to take the next step by scheduling an appointment. Together, we can create a safe space to explore what you're experiencing, identify where you want to grow, and work toward a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.
