About Jackie

Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 21 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where adults can slow down and look honestly at who they are. Therapy with her focuses on understanding patterns from the past and deciding what to keep or change now.

Jackie helps people reframe long-held viewpoints and notice how old habits may no longer fit. She asks thoughtful, respectful questions and challenges assumptions in ways that promote psychological flexibility. The work often involves examining relationship dynamics, identity, and choices around life changes.

Her approach emphasizes honest self-reflection alongside acceptance of one’s history without shame. From that place, she and the client set clear goals and map practical steps toward growth. Clients explore options like radical acceptance, clearer decision-making, or choosing a new direction.

Jackie typically works with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage in therapy. She focuses on stress and anxiety, mood concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to relationships and family of origin. Additional areas include codependency, attachment and communication problems, parenting strain, and life purpose.

Licensed in Louisiana and Texas, Jackie draws on over two decades of experience to support people through transition and recalibration. Her style is grounded, direct, and compassionate, aiming to help clients gain clarity and move forward with purpose.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jackie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on perspective shifting and behavioral change. One approach she emphasizes helps people notice and reframe long-held viewpoints so those beliefs stop limiting current choices; this can help with stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Another common focus is increasing psychological flexibility by examining life history and deciding what to keep or change, which supports people moving through transitions and recalibration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie collaborates with each person to identify techniques that match their goals, history, and preferences. She introduces methods gradually and checks in often so adjustments can be made together based on what is helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It can also allow sessions from a quieter space at home or during a break, and it can help maintain continuity when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can adapt practical tools and homework to work well in virtual settings, keeping progress focused on real-world change.
