Dr. Antimoore Jackson , LCSW

Dr. Antimoore Jackson is a doctorate-educated psychotherapist who brings more than 38 years of direct clinical experience to his work. He is dual-credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a professional credential indicating advanced training in social work and clinical practice - and as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor, qualifications that support his work with substance use and related concerns. Over decades in the field he has worked across many settings, gaining experience with children and adolescents in foster care and those with histories of delinquency, young adults involved in the criminal justice system, and professionals such as lawyers, teachers, and other clinicians facing substance use challenges.

That broad clinical background enables him to rapidly assess underlying causes of distress and to develop practical, individualized treatment plans. He has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting problems, work-related conflict, trauma and abuse, and alcohol and drug issues including DWIs. He also has experience addressing grief, intimacy and sexual trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and many relationship and family dynamics.

His counseling approach blends warmth and directness; he engages interactively while treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. He draws from a wide range of therapeutic models - including cognitive-behavioral approaches, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, rational-emotive methods, and culturally informed frameworks - and tailors interventions to each person’s needs. He welcomes the courage it takes to seek change and stands ready to support and empower those prepared to take that step.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Dr. Antimoore Jackson integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck by avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust, helping people understand and reshape ways of relating to partners, family, and caregivers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Dr. Jackson works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He tailors interventions and adapts techniques as progress unfolds so therapy fits the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access care from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
