Angela Huston Jackson

Maybe your teen is struggling with focus, grief, or self-esteem, and you're not sure how to help. Maybe you're a parent or professional running on empty and quietly burning out. I'm Angela, a counselor with a Master's in Counseling from Lamar University and more than 10 years of experience as an educator and school counselor, so I've spent a long time helping students, parents, and families through hard seasons.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, ADHD, stress and burnout, self-esteem, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, and women's issues. For clients who want it, I also offer Christian counseling that brings faith into our work.

My approach is holistic, affirming, and solution-focused. I want you to leave sessions with real tools, not just more to think about. Depending on what you need, I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, which helps you reframe the story you've been telling yourself. For couples, I use solution-focused and behavioral couples approaches to improve communication and connection. My years in schools taught me how much changes when people feel truly seen, so that's where we'll start.

Our first session is a relaxed chance to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what's been hardest lately, and what you'd like to be different. For teens, I'll usually check in with a parent too, so we're all on the same page. You don't need to have everything figured out or share it all at once. By the end, we'll have clear goals and a plan for where to start.
