Welcome Rick Jackson, MSW, LICSW — A Warm, Steady Voice in the Room

New things are happening behind the scenes at The Therapist PLC, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the first part of it. We’re thrilled to welcome Richard “Rick” Jackson, MSW, LICSW to The Therapist PLC family. Rick joins our team with years of clinical experience and a reputation for being exactly the kind of therapist clients hope to find—easygoing, deeply kind, and quietly funny in the best way.

Born and raised in Minnesota, Rick has spent his career helping others feel seen, safe, and supported. His down-to-earth style builds instant trust. Clients describe him as both compassionate and straightforward—someone who can meet hard topics with warmth, insight, and just the right amount of humor when it helps.

Rick specializes in working with individuals and families navigating suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and attachment challenges. His training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT), and Mindfulness-Based Approaches. He also holds certifications in Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) and Suicide Prevention & Postvention, underscoring his long-standing commitment to helping communities talk about suicide openly, without shame.

Outside the office, Rick brings that same calm, grounded energy to his life. You might find him outside with his dog and camera, fishing rod in hand, or simply spending time with his family. Rick embodies what’s next for The Therapist PLC: genuine care, expert guidance, and an authentic human touch. He reminds us that change doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful—it can arrive quietly, with heart and purpose.

Welcome to The Therapist PLC, Rick. The first of many good things to come!
