About Jackie
Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience, licensed in Louisiana and Texas. She helps adults who want clearer thinking about relationships, life transitions, and recurring emotional patterns. Jackie focuses on practical change rather than quick fixes, and she frames therapy as a place to look honestly at how the past shapes current choices.
Her approach asks clients to slow down and notice patterns that once helped but now limit them. She guides people through reframing old beliefs and increasing psychological flexibility. That often means examining family of origin dynamics, attachment issues, codependency, or communication habits that sustain stress or anger.
Jackie uses plain language and direct feedback to help people decide what to keep and what to change. Conversations can include steps toward radical acceptance, clearer decision-making, or concrete plans for new behavior. She emphasizes understanding before action so choices are intentional rather than reactive.
Clients who work with her are typically adults in their mid-twenties and older who are prepared to engage thoughtfully in therapy. Common themes she addresses include relationship strain, grief, depression, anxiety, career questions, parenting stress, anger, and multicultural concerns. She also supports people dealing with forgiveness, infidelity, abandonment, and life purpose questions.
Sessions are meant to help people move from feeling stuck to having clearer next steps. Jackie combines careful listening with respectful challenge, helping clients test new perspectives and practice different responses in everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Jackie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and increasing flexibility. One common approach involves cognitive reframing, which helps people notice and shift long-held beliefs that fuel anger or resentment. This can reduce reactive responses and open up new choices in relationships.Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and practice. Clients try small, concrete changes between sessions to test different ways of responding to stress or conflict. Those practice steps make abstract ideas actionable and help people see what works in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Jackie will talk through your goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try together. She adjusts plans based on what helps most, so clients can move from understanding toward different, workable habits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals commonly use remote sessions to keep momentum between in-person meetings, and this can be helpful when practicing new ways of handling anger and stress.
