Jackie Potts-Powell , LPC

Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience. She provides a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and look honestly at who they are. Therapy with her is about understanding yourself so you can decide what to keep and what to change in your life.

Jackie helps clients examine patterns shaped by their life history. She encourages thoughtful self-reflection without shame. This can mean reframing long-held beliefs or recognizing coping habits that no longer fit.

Her approach asks for active participation. Clients are invited to identify where they are in a stage of change and to set clear, practical goals. She helps people move toward those goals with intentional steps, whether that means choosing a new direction or practicing radical acceptance.

Jackie works well with adults in their mid-twenties and older who want to engage seriously in therapy. She draws on decades of experience to address relationship dynamics, identity development, and transition-related challenges. Common concerns she helps with include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

Based in Louisiana and licensed to practice in Texas and Louisiana, she also brings attention to multicultural concerns and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on clarity, perspective-shifting, and practical next steps so clients can return to daily life feeling more purposeful and less stuck.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jackie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize examining life patterns and changing perspectives. One common approach she uses helps people identify and reframe long-held beliefs so those views no longer limit daily choices; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. Another approach focuses on understanding attachment and abandonment patterns from past relationships so clients can build healthier ways of relating and reduce repeated hurt.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jackie works with each client to understand their goals, needs, and preferences and then tailors strategies together. If an approach isn’t working, she adjusts course so the work feels relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and keep momentum on quieter days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
