About
As someone who has utilized counseling to overcome unforeseen adversities in my personal life, I have gained insightful perspectives to navigate challenging and exciting life circumstances by developing a growth mindset, effective coping skills, and a renewed sense of self.
As a licensed professional counselor, I have educational backgrounds in Sport & Exercise Psychology and Counseling Psychology from working with youth through professional athletes. I am a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment provider and am currently pursuing my Mental Performance Consulting certification. I have worked in private practice and community mental health with children, teens, and adults, addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and relationship conflicts. Currently, I work with individuals motivated to improve their mental performance, career development, financial psychology, identity, and wellness.
I enjoy helping clients identify their strengths, build confidence through thought-provoking questions and exercises, develop coping skills, and accept uncontrollable outcomes. I use mental performance strategies and positive psychology to build resilience and self-esteem so clients can craft new narratives and grow through difficult circumstances.
My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk freely about your concerns and work through them to increase your well-being. You are showing positive steps by reaching out. I look forward to helping you find creative solutions, empowering your self-esteem, building new pathways of success, and sustaining meaningful purpose in your life.

As a man of color who has walked through trauma and grief, I offer you a grounded, steady presence where you feel safe, understood, and supported to clear emotional and psychological blocks, release limiting patterns, strengthen resilience, and move with confidence toward your fullest potential.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy. I work with adults and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, infidelity recovery, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by past experiences, or disconnected from their confidence and direction. I focus on helping clients build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create healthier patterns in their lives and relationships. My approach is active, structured, and relational.
I earned my master's degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University. I use EMDR and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients process experiences, regulate emotions, and move toward change. For couples, I utilize Gottman Method techniques to strengthen communication and rebuild trust.
My goal is to provide a calm, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Together, we will identify emotional roadblocks, develop practical tools, and build skills that support lasting progress. If you are ready to move beyond surviving and begin creating the life and relationships you want, I look forward to working with you.

As one who has undergone trauma, loss and life changes. I understand how these circumstances impact life and how important it is to understand, grow, and learn new skills to build a new life in which we can thrive.
I am a licensed associate counselor (LAC) dedicated to providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, supporting them through a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, trauma, stress, life transitions, and women's issues. I also have a strong passion for working with neurodiverse individuals. I help individuals understand their emotions, build confidence and skills to navigate the world around them better.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients understand the root of their challenges, develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful goals for change.
I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to explore. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we work on building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and fostering resilience—finding their voice, setting healthy boundaries, and moving toward a balanced and fulfilling life. I'd love to work with you!

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I believe that those experiences don't define us. I believe that healing from those experiences is possible.
Hi, I'm Morgan Jackson, a licensed professional counselor who believes therapy should feel like a collaborative, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I earned my master's degree in professional counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2020, and since then I've had the privilege of helping individuals navigate life's challenges, transitions, and personal growth. My approach is flexible and client-centered because there's no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Together, we'll find what works best for you, your goals, and your unique circumstances. Outside the therapy office, I'm a mom to two teenage sons and four very spoiled French Bulldogs who keep life interesting. I'm also a fan of all things pink and glitter.
One of the beliefs that guides both my personal life and professional work is that "everything is figureoutable." That doesn't mean life is easy or that challenges disappear overnight. It means that even when things feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck, there is always a path forward. Sometimes we just need support, perspective, and the right tools to help us find it.
Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, or simply trying to better understand yourself, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.

Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Talking about mental health issues is difficult for a lot of people. While a significant portion of the population struggles with mental and emotional disorders like anxiety and depression, many people avoid or put off seeking help. Even if you know your mental health is important, it may be tough to find time to prioritize getting help in your busy schedule.
Thankfully, you don’t have to fit in-office visits into your calendar with commuting time cushioned on either side. With online therapy, you can get help from a licensed counselor without ever leaving your home or office. Simply pick up the phone or join your video session and let us handle the rest.
If you’ve been struggling with a mental health issue and need compassionate and experienced guidance, you can find support at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ. Contact us to schedule your first online counseling appointment today.
You may be surprised by how little difference there is between traditional therapy and virtual therapy. Many clients find that online therapy appointments are just as effective as face-to-face appointments in an office environment. The main difference, of course, is simply how you choose to speak to your counselor or therapist.
At Thriveworks, we offer a range of therapy services in a virtual setting. These are some examples:
If you want to experience the benefits of virtual therapy, licensed professionals are standing by at Thriveworks Counseling.
Online therapy is simple, which makes it a perfect option if you know you could benefit from speaking to a counselor. Live video chat has many advantages. When it comes to talk therapy, sometimes it’s easier to build the trusting relationship necessary for this collaborative process when you can look your counselor or therapist in the eye. Your provider may also have an easier time reading your emotions and body language, in turn making sessions more productive. Online therapy by video makes this possible without having to go in person to meet with your provider.
Thriveworks clients are able to enjoy convenient access to mental health services without leaving the comfort of their homes. For those who lack reliable transportation, live in remote areas, or find in-person therapy appointments intimidating, remote therapy is a particularly beneficial option. When it comes to your therapy sessions, especially when you’re just getting started, frequency and consistency are important if you want to see results. Talk therapy sessions don’t always offer quick and easy solutions. It takes time for your counselor to get to know your situation and understand your issues so they can guide you through them. With the option of remote therapy, it’s easier to commit to a consistent schedule without worrying about bad weather, transportation issues, and minor sicknesses getting in the way.
If you’ve been interested in speaking to a licensed mental health professional, it’s easier than ever to get started with online counseling from Thriveworks in Tempe, AZ.
Mental health services can be an essential support system for individuals overcoming mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. Sometimes, speaking to a counselor or therapist can be the most important decision a person makes when they’re going through a rough patch.
For that reason, Thriveworks makes sure it is as easy as possible to get the help you need. Therapy sessions are simple to book by phone or online and we even offer weekend and evening availability for both our in-person and remote therapy appointments. We accept insurance and can often accommodate requests for same-week appointments.
