Kate Jackson

Hi! I’m Kate, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA). I hold a Master of Social Work from North Carolina State University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Appalachian State University.

I have experience facilitating group therapy for adolescents ages 12–18 in an Intensive Outpatient Program as well as working with adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where I gained valuable experience supporting individuals with acute mental health needs. 

In addition to my role as a therapist at Keep Counsel, I also work in a hospital setting where I support adults experiencing mental health crises and substance use disorders.

My clinical interests include women’s issues, adolescent mental health, and trauma. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Informed Care, and Polyvagal Theory to meet each client where they are.

Throughout my experiences in clinical work and self-discovery, I understand that being vulnerable and open can be difficult. I am here to help make that journey more accessible to the clients I work with. Working with high-risk populations and using evidence-based practices such as DBT, CBT and Family Structural therapy I am able to work with clients with high anxiety, obsessive and compulsive patterns and relational issues within their families or personal lives. All of my experience has helped me to really slow down and make sure that my clients are feeling heard and understood so I can meet them where they’re at.

Above all, my goal is to ensure that every client feels seen, heard, and understood. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients feel safe to grow and heal.

Outside of therapy, you’ll usually find me hanging out with my cats, watching reality TV, or spending time with friends and family.
