About Dr. Jackson

Dr. Kyle Jackson, Ph.D. is an Arizona licensed clinical psychologist. He obtained his doctoral degree in psychology from the University of Arkansas, and he completed a one-year APA accredited clinical internship at the Phoenix VA, including rotations in PTSD and general mental health. Over the course of his seven-years of training in clinical psychology, Dr. Jackson has seen a wide array of patients from all manner of backgrounds, with a great diversity of presenting concerns. In 2023, Dr. Jackson started Connect Talk Therapy, an all virtual private practice, with the aim of connecting with clients to help them achieve their goals and get back the quality of life that they deserve.

Dr. Jackson has expertise in working with individual (adult) clients, and he primarily uses therapeutic techniques from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modality, while also incorporating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Combining evidence-based treatment with a warm, empathetic, and collaborative style offers clients a combination of human connection and well-regarded therapeutic treatments.

The Concept of Connect Talk Therapy

If you read our materials throughout this site, you will see a keyword used repeatedly: Connect. The name is no accident. Dr. Jackson wanted a name that reflects his unique approach to therapy, one that evokes the multiple meanings the word can have. Dr. Jackson believes that the human connection, or therapeutic relationship, is at the cornerstone of good therapy, and his first goal is to strive to make that connection with you. Second, Dr. Jackson takes a multidimensional, holistic approach to therapy - By connecting the different areas of concern in your life, as well as your challenges and strengths, a more well-rounded treatment plan can be established. It is also crucial for all of us that we feel well connected with the important people in our lives, be that our partner, friends, coworkers, employer, or anyone else. As such, Dr. Jackson aims to help his clients not only improve their own quality of life but to better connect with the people that matter most.

Last but not least, Connect Talk Therapy is all about making private practice therapy easy and convenient, so connecting with Dr. Jackson through easy to use video conferencing is not only available, but it is the core focus of the practice. By building Connect Talk Therapy from the ground-up to be a virtual therapy office, rather than adapting a more traditional practice to a virtual setting, Dr. Jackson has tailored the entire patient experience to be streamlined and intuitive. Connect Talk Therapy services are available anywhere - at home, at the office, or wherever else works into your busy life- and treatment is made easy, as you can stay up-to-date on your appointments, send confidential secure messages to Dr. Jackson, and even pay your bill through our convenient online client portal.
