About

A counselor who actually shows up for you.

I'm Charnel L. Jackson, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Zachary, Louisiana. I started this practice because I saw how many people in our community were going without support — not because they didn't need it, but because they didn't know where to start.

My approach is straightforward: we'll work together to understand what's really going on, build practical strategies that fit your life, and move at a pace that feels sustainable. You'll leave each session with a clearer head and a concrete next step — not just a place to vent.

Services

Support tailored to what you're going through.

Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or just need a reliable space to process, I offer focused therapeutic services designed to meet you where you are.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions focused on your unique goals — whether that's managing anxiety, working through past trauma, or building healthier patterns in relationships and work.

Anxiety & Stress

Practical tools to quiet the noise — cognitive strategies, grounding techniques, and a compassionate space to untangle what's driving your worry.

Depression

A steady partnership to help you understand the roots of your low mood and build momentum — starting with small, meaningful shifts that add up.

Trauma & PTSD

Trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety and pacing. You set the pace — I provide the structure and evidence-based methods to help you heal.

Life Transitions

Major changes — career shifts, loss, relocation, relationship changes — don't have to be overwhelming. Let's build a roadmap for what's ahead.

Online Therapy

Secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions from the comfort of your home. Same quality care, same commitment — just with the convenience of connecting from anywhere in Louisiana.

My Approach

Therapy that respects your time, your intelligence, and your lived experience.

01

Consultation

We start with a free 15-minute call to see if we're a good fit. No commitment, no pressure — just a conversation about what you're looking for and how I can help.

02

Assessment

Our first session is dedicated to understanding your full picture — your history, your current challenges, and what success looks like to you. This shapes everything that follows.

03

Active Work

Together we build a treatment plan using evidence-based methods. Each session has direction — you'll leave with insights, tools, and clear next steps you can actually use.

04

Growth & Graduation

Therapy isn't forever. As you build skills and confidence, we'll revisit your goals and plan your transition out — so you're equipped to handle what comes next on your own.

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

I accept several major insurance plans and can verify your benefits during the consultation call. I also offer a limited number of sliding-scale slots for those who need them. Just call or email to confirm your coverage.

Yes. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions for clients across Louisiana. Telehealth sessions are the same 50-minute length as in-person appointments and are just as effective for most concerns.

It depends on your goals. Some clients find relief in 8–12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll discuss a realistic timeline during our first session and adjust as we go.

I'm located at 4787 Waywood St, Zachary, LA 70791. There is free parking on-site. I also offer virtual sessions for clients who prefer to connect online.

Your first session is all about getting to know you. We'll talk about what brought you in, your history, and what you'd like to get out of therapy. There's no test, no diagnosis pressure — just an honest conversation to make sure this is the right fit for both of us.

Absolutely. Everything you share is protected by federal privacy laws (42 CFR Part 2) and state confidentiality regulations. I won't discuss your sessions with anyone — including family or employers — without your written consent, except in the limited circumstances required by law.
