About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacqueline also focuses on caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women's issues, and workplace problems.
She takes a straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations cover current problems and practical ways to handle them. She uses several evidence-based methods, and she explains what each step means as she goes.
Jacqueline often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and make choices aligned with what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and how past bonds shape present feelings.
When trauma is part of the picture, she may integrate EMDR or skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotions and reduce distress. Sessions balance skill-building with time to talk through painful memories and current stressors. The overall aim is practical: reduce overwhelm and increase the ability to act in ways that reflect the client's values.
Jacqueline works in English and practices within Louisiana. People who want to explore what comes next after a life change often contact her to discuss stress, direction, and meaning in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test them against real-life evidence. CBT often involves practical exercises and homework that target anxiety, low mood, and stress-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline discusses options with each person and adapts techniques based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, or other methods will be most useful.
