About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with a decade of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and related concerns such as caregiver stress, guilt, isolation, and workplace difficulties.

Background and approach

Jacqueline emphasizes compassion and respect as the foundation for collaborative work, meeting each client where they are and honoring individual values and goals. Her approach blends evidence-based methods to address both immediate symptoms and the underlying patterns that maintain distress.

Jacqueline draws on therapies that help people build skills for emotional regulation, process difficult experiences, and clarify personal meaning and direction. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore identity, self-love, and life purpose while navigating post-traumatic stress or recovery from painful events.

Jacqueline invites clients to participate actively in their own healing, tailoring interventions to fit the person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practice centers on practical tools and thoughtful reflection to promote more meaningful, sustainable change over time.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Jacqueline incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and psychological flexibility, helping clients accept difficult internal experiences while moving toward meaningful life goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will discuss different methods with clients, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques so the treatment matches each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own locations, making it easier to fit consistent care into everyday life while working on skills, processing experiences, and tracking progress over time.
