Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns , LPCC

Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She focuses on concerns like relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. Jackie aims to listen first and help people find practical steps forward.

Jackie believes people carry resilience and inner resources. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds plans that reflect individual needs. Sessions are meant to feel like a respectful conversation where the client sets the pace.

Her style centers on being a steady, listening presence. She creates a nurturing space that encourages honest sharing without judgment. This approach supports work on shame, forgiveness, and rebuilding a sense of self worth.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches to guide the work. That can include looking at personal stories, exploring deep patterns that repeat, and focusing on practical solutions for current problems. The mix depends on the person's goals and what feels most useful in session.

With 17 years of counseling experience overall and many more years learning from people in daily life, Jackie combines clinical perspective with longtime observation of human resilience. She supports people who want to address anger, addiction, caregiving stress, or the strain of life transitions. Conversations move toward clearer choices, stronger boundaries, and a more balanced sense of purpose.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and to discover their own solutions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite harmful narratives so life choices feel clearer and more aligned with values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and personality. That decision is revisited over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use gestures and eye contact similar to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between talks. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, manage caregiving duties, or maintain steady progress while life shifts.
