Jacqueline Gilcrease, LPC

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues that come from trauma and abuse. Her work emphasizes respect and steady support as clients make changes at their own pace.

Jacqueline spends sessions listening to each person's values and goals. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. That might mean learning new coping skills, practicing different ways of thinking, or working through painful memories in a step-by-step way.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-informed methods. She also uses ACT, attachment-based methods, DBT, and EMDR when appropriate. Jacqueline adapts methods to what each person needs rather than following a single fixed plan.

People who come to her often want help with workplace stress, relationship strain, caregiver burden, or feelings of isolation and shame. She also supports those facing questions about life purpose and self-worth. Sessions aim to build tools people can use outside therapy.

Jacqueline aims for a calm, collaborative atmosphere. She invites people to set small, achievable goals and checks in on progress often. Her focus is on practical change and on helping clients feel steadier in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on practical steps and skills that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and commit to small actions aligned with what matters to them, which can be useful for meaning and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum over time.
