Jacqueline Gilcrease , LPC

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings ten years of experience helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. Jacqueline focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions so progress feels real and manageable.

She works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse and those carrying the weight of caregiver stress. Jacqueline also supports clients facing guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose. Women’s issues are among the areas she lists as a focus.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps you identify small, concrete changes that fit your life. Sessions are meant to feel like a steady conversation rather than a lecture.

Jacqueline uses a mix of methods to meet different needs. She may draw on skills to manage strong emotions, strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and movement-based tools for processing difficult memories. The goal is to reduce distress while building skills for day-to-day life.

People who prefer a practical, compassionate approach tend to fit well with Jacqueline. She emphasizes respect for each person’s values and goals and works at a pace that feels right for you. If you want steady support and actionable steps, she can help you explore what comes next.

How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting tangled in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, which is useful for depression and worry. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to process troubling memories and reduce their intensity; it can help when past events continue to cause strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time so they fit the pace and priorities of the client.

Online therapy makes these methods more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick support, journaling between sessions, or when writing helps people reflect. These options offer more flexibility for scheduling and for fitting therapy into a busy life.
