Margerae' R. Jackson, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps individuals address the emotional, relational, and spiritual roots that may be keeping them stuck. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not only about managing symptoms. It is also about understanding what happened, renewing the mind, restoring identity, and building a healthier future.
I provide Christian faith-integrated counseling for clients who want their relationship with God respected and incorporated into the therapeutic process. Evidence-based clinical practices are combined with biblical principles in a way that supports your goals, preferences, and level of comfort.

I may be a good fit for you if...
You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning counseling. You only need a willingness to look honestly at what is beneath the surface and take the next step toward change.
You love God but still feel emotionally or spiritually stuck.
Past trauma continues to affect your identity, relationships, or ability to trust.
You are struggling with anxiety, depression, shame, grief, fear, or low self-worth.
You are navigating ministry burnout, a major transition, or an unexpected season of change.
You want counseling that respects and incorporates your Christian faith.
You want practical tools, honest reflection, emotional support, and biblical encouragement.
Warm, honest, collaborative, and rooted in purpose
My counseling style is compassionate and welcoming while also being structured and intentional. I want you to feel heard and emotionally safe, but I will also help you identify patterns, examine beliefs, and take practical steps toward change.
Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include conversation, reflection, coping skills, journaling, expressive activities, Scripture, prayer, and between-session exercises.
Faith integration is not used to minimize emotional pain. Instead, it is incorporated thoughtfully alongside clinical care to support healing of the whole person.
What you can expect
A place to speak honestly about emotional, relational, and spiritual struggles without fear of condemnation.
Compassionate support combined with honest questions and encouragement toward meaningful change.
Strategies that help you manage emotions, challenge harmful beliefs, improve relationships, and make healthier decisions.
Scripture, prayer, and Christian principles incorporated based on your goals and comfort level.
Evidence-based care integrated with faith.
Counseling is personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. I draw from several therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, concerns, and treatment goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Helps identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns while building healthier emotional and behavioral responses.
Christian Faith Integration
Incorporates biblical principles, Scripture, prayer, identity in Christ, forgiveness, grace, and spiritual reflection when desired.
Narrative Therapy
Helps separate your identity from painful experiences and rewrite the story you have learned to believe about yourself.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Supports emotional flexibility, values-based decision making, and meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present.
Motivational Interviewing
Helps strengthen internal motivation, resolve uncertainty, and move toward positive change at a sustainable pace.
Trauma-Informed Care
Prioritizes safety, trust, choice, empowerment, and sensitivity to how past experiences may shape current reactions.
Healing begins beneath the surface
Inspired by Jeremiah 1:10, the Become Uprooted framework represents a process of identifying what must be removed, rebuilding what was damaged, planting healthier beliefs, and nurturing lasting growth.
