Meet Shenelle Jackson, LCSW

Top Solution-Focused Therapist for High-Achieving Professionals in the DMV Area

Welcome to Altering Lifestyle Services! I’m Shenelle Jackson, a licensed clinical social worker and certified transformational mindset coach.

My mission is to help high-achieving professionals like you navigate the demands of both career and personal life, guiding you toward lasting success, fulfillment, and a redefined version of achievement that aligns with your values.

My Educational and Professional Background

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Howard University School of Social Work, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and California. I have received advanced training in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which is the foundation of my practice, as well as Transformational Mindset Coaching.

With over a decade of experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping high-achieving professionals—executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders—overcome burnout, build leadership skills, and find greater personal fulfillment.

My approach blends the latest in psychological research with practical tools, ensuring that our work together is rooted in both proven methods and tailored strategies to help you achieve your goals.

I Specialize in the Unique Challenges of High Achievers

As someone who thrives in high-pressure environments, you know what it means to pursue excellence. However, success often comes with its own set of challenges—burnout, leadership stress, and feeling disconnected from the personal aspects of your life. My work focuses on helping professionals like you find balance without compromising your ambitions.

Through Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and coaching, I offer a practical, results-driven approach that helps you move beyond obstacles and focus on actionable solutions. My goal is to provide the tools you need to overcome burnout, enhance your leadership capabilities, and build deeper, more meaningful connections in both your professional and personal life.

What I Can Expect

In our work together, you'll experience a highly collaborative process. My approach is straightforward and compassionate, designed to help you feel empowered and understood from the moment we start. I tailor each session to your individual needs, ensuring that our time together is not only insightful but also immediately applicable to your day-to-day challenges.

Clients who work with me typically see transformations in:

Leadership Skills

Improved decision-making, emotional intelligence, and a greater sense of presence in high-pressure environments.

Burnout Recovery

Tools to set healthier boundaries and prioritize self-care without losing momentum in your career.

Personal Fulfillment

Building authentic relationships and reconnecting with the things that bring you joy, both personally and professionally.

Why High Achievers Work With Me

My clients are often leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals at the top of their fields, yet many feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled despite their achievements. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the pressures you face and my commitment to helping you redefine success on your terms. With over a decade of experience, I’m skilled at guiding high performers through life transitions, leadership growth, and personal development.

In working together, you’ll gain:

  • A clear sense of direction when you feel lost or unsure of your next steps.

  • Effective strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout.

  • The confidence to set boundaries, navigate difficult situations, and lead with authenticity.
