About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to reduce distress and move toward clearer priorities.
She uses several structured approaches to help clients notice patterns of thinking and behavior. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing alternative actions, and practicing new ways of coping. Jacqueline aims to keep sessions straightforward and goal-focused so progress is visible between meetings.
Her background includes work with people facing caregiver strain, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She also supports clients with post-traumatic stress, building self-regard, women’s issues, and workplace challenges. Jacqueline draws on multiple methods to match what a person needs at a given time.
In conversations she listens for what gets in the way of daily functioning and looks for small, concrete changes to try. She combines tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas when useful. EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her clinical toolkit.
Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use immediately. Jacqueline encourages homework between sessions so new habits can form and current problems can be addressed step by step.
How Jacqueline uses structured approaches in online sessions
Jacqueline works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot negative thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and practice exercises that can be done between meetings to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when avoidance or worry makes it hard to live in line with what matters. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current expectations in close connections and to build more secure ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means reviewing progress and adjusting techniques over time rather than committing to one method up front.
