Rick (Richard) Jackson, LICSW

Rick (Richard) Jackson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, MN LICSW, with ten years of practice in Minnesota. He focuses on stress, relationships, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief, and related concerns. He works with adults who are managing changes at home or feeling stuck in their relationships and roles.

Rick uses clear, conversational work in sessions. He listens for patterns in how people relate and react, then helps them try small, practical changes. He leans on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based ideas to look at long-running relationship habits.

Clients who come for parenting strain, communication problems, or the fallout from separation will find a steady, task-focused approach. He also supports those coping with trauma, abandonment, or grief by pacing the conversation and focusing on what the person can do next. He uses Gottman-informed techniques to address recurring conflict and communication breakdowns.

Rick values a collaborative approach. He treats sessions as a place to test out new ways of talking and acting, and to plan concrete next steps between meetings. He asks practical questions about daily routines, stressors, and relationship patterns to shape work that fits ordinary life.

Before a first appointment he asks people to think about what they want to change and what has helped before. He accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. Costs vary by location and follow a cancelable subscription model.
