About Jackie
Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience. She practices in Louisiana and brings a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Jackie focuses on helping people slow down and look honestly at who they are and how they arrived at their current struggles.
She does not frame therapy as fixing you. Instead she helps people understand themselves well enough to decide what to keep and what to change.
Background and approach
She encourages clear-eyed reflection and guides clients to notice patterns shaped by life history. Jackie helps people reframe long-held viewpoints and build more psychological flexibility. That can mean examining protective habits that no longer serve and trying new ways of responding.
She uses thoughtful, respectful challenge to support growth and change. Her work often centers on relationship dynamics, identity development, and navigating life transitions. People come for help with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, parenting pressures, and career decisions.
Jackie also addresses family of origin issues, attachment and codependency concerns, infidelity, and multicultural questions. She typically sees adults in their mid-twenties and older who want a thoughtful, engaged therapeutic process. Sessions are aimed at clarifying goals, deciding on next steps, and moving intentionally toward a different way of living when that feels right.
Evidence-based approaches for anxiety and life change
Jackie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people shift unhelpful patterns and build more flexible ways of coping. One approach focuses on examining long-held viewpoints and reframing them so they no longer drive automatic reactions; this can be useful for anxiety, shame, or relationship conflicts. Another approach centers on identifying patterns shaped by life history and testing new responses in the present to reduce distress and increase choice; this often helps with grief, attachment issues, and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie collaborates with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts techniques that fit those goals. She encourages trial and feedback so the plan evolves if something isn’t working or needs adjustment.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see and hear nuance during longer sessions. Phone calls are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between longer sessions and fit into busy days. These formats make it easier to attend therapy from different locations and schedules.
