About Jackie
Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana and Texas with 21 years of experience. She works with adults and focuses on relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and anger. Jackie also addresses trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, stress, compassion fatigue, and related concerns such as attachment issues and communication problems.
Her style is direct but measured. She provides a grounded, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and look honestly at how they arrived where they are. Therapy is framed as a process of understanding oneself better - not about being fixed, but about choosing what to keep and what to change.
Jackie asks questions that prompt reflection and challenge long-held viewpoints in respectful ways. She helps clients identify patterns formed by earlier life experiences and consider which patterns remain useful. That work supports clearer decisions about relationships, boundaries, and next steps.
She places emphasis on recognizing past influences without staying stuck in them. From there she helps clients clarify their current stage of change and decide what growth looks like now - whether that means accepting some realities, making different choices, or shifting perspective to reduce ongoing conflict or resentment.
Clients who do best with her tend to be adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready for thoughtful engagement. Her practical focus includes identity development, relationship dynamics, and navigating transitions with clarity and purpose.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jackie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and increasing psychological flexibility. One commonly used direction is cognitive restructuring, which helps people examine and reframe long-held viewpoints that contribute to anger or persistent conflict. This approach is practical and aims to shift the interpretations that fuel reactive responses.Another key approach she uses involves exploring life history and attachment patterns. That work looks at how early relationships shaped current expectations and reactions, and it helps people recognize which strategies were once protective but now cause strain in relationships or self-worth.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. Jackie will help clients identify their goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those aims. She adjusts course based on how the client responds and what feels most useful for managing anger, improving communication, or navigating change.
