About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Childress is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, and anger. Jacqueline also supports people dealing with life changes, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and related challenges.
She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and simple strategies clients can try between meetings. Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce distress and gain clearer choices about how they act and respond.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Jacqueline helps people name the patterns that cause trouble, practice different responses, and track what changes. She pays attention to how past trauma, attachment, and cultural factors shape current reactions and relationships.
Over two decades of work has included mood disorders, grief, sexual assault and abuse, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. She also addresses impulsivity, jealousy, and complications from prejudice and discrimination. Jacqueline brings that experience into goal-focused sessions that aim to increase everyday functioning.
People who want straightforward, skill-focused work often choose her. She asks new clients to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule their first session so she can understand immediate concerns and set practical next steps.
How Jacqueline uses therapy methods online
Jacqueline works with evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and changing responses. One approach emphasizes recognizing patterns that trigger strong reactions and practicing alternative behaviors; this helps with anger, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts. Another approach centers on processing trauma and its effects on current coping; it supports people who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, or attachment disruption by helping them understand how past events influence present feelings.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan as you notice what reduces distress and improves day-to-day functioning.
Confirm the session formats Jacqueline currently offers before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and make short check-ins easier. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult, and different formats may suit brief coaching-style check-ins or longer therapeutic sessions. Ask about the specific options when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your routine and goals.
