About Hershel
Hershel Jackson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem struggles, and depression.
Background and approach
He draws on more than two decades of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents in settings that have included community mental health, case management, and specialty programs such as Assertive Community Treatment. His background also includes practicum and internship work addressing substance use, grief, transitional challenges, and interpersonal difficulties.
Jackson’s counseling blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and existential influences, applying practical strategies alongside a focus on each person's values and meaning. He has provided assessment, individual, family, and group counseling and has experience with marital and divorce-related concerns as well as topics like forgiveness, guilt, isolation, life purpose, and midlife questions.
Clients can expect an approach that pairs skill-building and problem-solving with attention to personal perspective and goals. Hershel holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and he maintains licensure as an LPC in Michigan.
He works with people through a range of session formats and arrangements, helping them identify barriers and move toward clearer priorities and coping strategies.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own resources, creating a collaborative space for exploring personal priorities and building self-understanding. Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, values, and life direction, which can be useful for people facing midlife concerns, emptiness, or choices about purpose.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their goals, needs, and preferences and may blend methods to find what fits best. This means early sessions often focus on identifying priorities and creating a shared plan for therapy.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are not feasible. These options can increase flexibility for scheduling, allow regular check-ins, and support ongoing work on skills and goals across everyday settings.
