Lamerial Jacobson
I practice an integrative, relational approach in counseling while operating from a holistic (mind-body-spirit) framework. I’ll join clients in their unique journey and encourage the use of effective mind-body practices (e.g., tapping and bilateral stimulation), communication tools, and reflective skills that embody responsibility and intentionality.
Lamerial joins clients in their unique journey and encourages the use of effective mind-body practices, communication tools, and reflective skills that embody responsibility and intentionality.
While building a genuine therapeutic relationship, I both encourage and challenge clients to create more authenticity and alignment in their own lives. I bring insight and intentionality to the process while sharing experience, strength, and hope.
First session
During your first meeting, I collaborate with you while co-creating goals, both short term and long term, that improve overall investments (i.e., time and energy spent) in health. I assist clients in taking inventory of their emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and physical investments to generate an action plan for rebalancing these relationships and resources.
Strengths
I emphasize a holistic approach to mind-body-spirit health and value the use of creativity, humor, and respect in the process. My experiences in counselor education, supervision, and research influence my collaborative coaching style when empowering clients to trust their own insight and resources when implementing change.
Ideal clients
I support clients who want to address the following: relationships and attachments; change, grief, and loss; marginalization, intersectionality, and systemic stress; ethics, spirituality, and sexuality; medicinal herbs, plants, and nutrition; choice, responsibility, and balance; and physical and emotional health. Originally trained in systems theory, I use a social justice and advocacy lens while modeling and implementing skills that assist clients in developing healthier relationships with self and their various attachments in life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Throughout the counseling process, I support client growth by using a strength-based, relational approach matched with evidenced-based practices (e.g., CBT, somatic techniques, EFT) that promote change; demonstrating acceptance, intention, modeling, and understanding along the way.
