About
As someone who has spent years supporting individuals, couples, and families through difficult seasons, I understand that growth often begins with feeling safe enough to be honest about the parts of life that feel heavy.
I'm Keyane Jackson, a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges in a supportive, judgment-free space. My background in both education and mental health has given me experience working with a diverse range of clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, communication difficulties, emotional stress, and life transitions. I work with clients who are seeking healing, stronger relationships, healthier coping skills, and greater confidence in themselves and their future.
I use a collaborative approach that incorporates CBT, solution-focused therapy, and relationship-based interventions to help clients build insight, improve communication, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. Clients can expect a supportive environment focused on growth, healing, and practical tools they can apply in everyday life.
You do not have to navigate difficult seasons of life alone. Healing and growth are possible, and taking the first step can be one of the hardest yet most meaningful decisions you make. I look forward to walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace, confidence, and healthier relationships.

As someone who has experienced personal trauma and PTSD, I know how much that can affect every aspect of a person's life, and what challenges it presents to becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
Hi, my name is Jared, and I'm an LPC Associate with an M.S. in Counseling. I work with adults ages 18–63 navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship wounds, identity development, and emotional pain. I also support LGBTQIA+ clients exploring identity, shame, religious trauma, self-acceptance, and rejection. My background includes PHP/IOP work with complex trauma, substance use, personality disorders, and major life transitions. I'm passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and break painful patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and joy are important parts of healing.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while working toward healing, growth, and lasting change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I'd be honored to work with you.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is emotional regulation. This allows the client to understand and manage their emotions effectively.
DBT tools/skills include identifying and labeling emotions, reducing emotional vulnerability, and increasing positive emotional experiences.
A client is making meaningful progress in DBT when behavioral changes occur, such as decreased self-harming behaviors, increased emotional regulation, and improvements in personal relationships.
To supplement DBT, clients can do “homework” outside sessions. This might include mindfulness exercises, using specific distress tolerance techniques, or completing emotion regulation worksheets.
To prepare for DBT, a client should come to their first session with an open mind, ready to work.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Irving, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
