Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She focuses on parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Jackie works with adults on career stress, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with change. She practices in Kansas and conducts sessions in English.

Jackie listens for each person’s story before offering ways to move forward. She believes the answers often live inside the person, and therapy brings clarity and a path. Sessions include practical tools, coping strategies, and steps to try between meetings. The goal is to build understanding, skills, and a realistic plan for next steps.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. Jackie uses client-centered techniques to follow the person’s lead. She also integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Attachment-informed work helps when past losses or relationship patterns affect current life.

In sessions she combines talk, gentle guidance, and hands-on strategies. Jackie pays attention to communication patterns, boundaries, and decision points. For someone grieving, she offers space to feel while suggesting ways to manage day-to-day tasks. For someone facing career or parenting strain, she helps set goals and small, achievable steps.

With 17 years of experience, Jackie aims to be steady and practical. She frames therapy as a cooperative process and helps people find workable solutions. She invites clients to share their story and to try changes that fit their life.

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. Online work can look at those patterns through relationship histories, current examples, and new ways to relate. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, offering a supportive space to talk and be heard without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce distress and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. Sessions can mix styles over time so the plan matches what is actually helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face-to-face and use visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching, and ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress.
