LGBT therapists in San Angelo, TX

Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, LPC, a therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I specialize in working with clients experiencing grief and loss, trauma, relationship concerns, men's issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, domestic violence, and racial dynamics. My goal is to help clients gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change. I currently accept new adult clients for telehealth, and I accept insurance. Whether you're facing a difficult transition or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with fifteen years of experience helping women, couples, and teens navigate life's most meaningful transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and connection. My practice focuses on women ages 35 and older experiencing perimenopause, hormonal changes, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, anxiety, grief, caregiving, career transitions, and shifting identity.

I also work with couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional intimacy, as well as teens (ages 14+) facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, and major life changes.

I earned a PhD from B.H. Carroll Theological Seminary and hold master's degrees in counseling and theology. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with compassionate, personalized care. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully incorporate Christian faith perspectives, welcoming both Catholic and Protestant traditions while honoring each person's values and beliefs.

My practice started out of a deep desire to help heal trauma passed down through generations. As a child of two trauma survivors myself, I know that these wounds can begin in childhood and follow us well into our adult lives. My goal is to work together to notice and intervene in harmful patterns that keep us trapped in cycles of pain and heartbreak.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), in Texas, with 5 years of professional experience. I obtained my Master of Social Work from the University of Arlington and have experience working with adults, Veterans, first responders, children, and young adults.

I can provide Evidence-Based Psychotherapies that are tried and true to help reduce patient symptoms. I have experience in CBT-Depression, Problem-Solving Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Insomnia, Tinnitus, and Grief.

As a clinician, it brings me joy to watch others get excited about life again – to learn the fine details about oneself, reject false ideas, and unlock parts that have been inaccessible for far too long. There is a ripple effect in healing. The power of investing a listening ear and welcoming vulnerability in its rawest form can change a landscape for many lifetimes to come. For many, therapy is the first space a person has been heard in an unconditional way. While speaking your deepest fears, hopes, thoughts, and needs aloud can feel daunting, I am here to ensure that your journey is more than just talk—it is a safe, empowering, and deeply transformative experience. There is a vibrant version of you just beneath the surface, waiting for permission to explore, the courage to heal, and the space to create."
