About Jackie
Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience helping adults clarify who they are and what they want next. She creates a grounded, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and look honestly at the patterns that shape their lives. Her work focuses on thoughtful change rather than quick fixes.
Jackie encourages honest self-reflection and acceptance as the starting point for change. She helps people recognize which old habits still serve them and which ones can be left behind.
Background and approach
Conversations often include examining relationship dynamics, attachment patterns, and family history to see how these influence present behavior. Clients can expect direct but respectful feedback aimed at increasing flexibility in thinking and behavior. Jackie guides re-framing long-held viewpoints, testing new ways of responding, and making practical choices that fit current goals.
She emphasizes clarity about what growth looks like for each person. Her areas of focus include relationship concerns, parenting challenges, mood and anxiety issues, trauma and grief, career transition, and compassion fatigue. Additional interests include abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural concerns.
She works with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage in thoughtful therapeutic work. Jackie is licensed in Louisiana and Texas as an LPC. She blends experience with a pragmatic approach so people can move from insight to clear action.
Sessions aim to help clients make intentional choices and find a steadier way forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online access
Jackie uses practical, evidence-informed techniques that help people change unhelpful patterns and clarify values. One common thread is perspective-shifting work that looks at long-held beliefs and reframes them to reduce unnecessary distress. This helps with relationship dynamics, attachment concerns, and repetitive reactions that no longer serve someone.Another focus is skills to increase psychological flexibility, including learning new ways to respond to stressful thoughts and emotions. These skills support coping with life changes, anxiety, depression, and grief by giving people concrete options instead of automatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video lets people see facial expressions and do deeper work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or reflective notes. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
