About Jacqueline

Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and life transitions. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to move forward. Jackie approaches each person as an individual with their own story and goals.

Jackie believes the answers are often already inside the client. She listens, asks questions, and offers tools that support clearer thinking and better choices. Sessions include education, coping strategies, and planning for next steps.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and change them through practice.

Jackie also uses mindfulness skills to help people settle intense emotions and increase present-moment awareness. For couples or relationship-focused work she brings in concepts from the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and repair patterns.

Over 17 years of practice, Jackie has supported people through trauma, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career shifts, caregiver stress, and major health-related issues. She combines calm listening with clear suggestions so clients can try new actions between sessions.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect how people feel and connect. It can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment worries, or repeating relationship patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the agenda; the therapist reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration lets the work evolve as problems change or as new priorities appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the therapist did not specify formats in the provided biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can work on issues between commitments. Talk with the therapist during the match and scheduling steps to confirm which formats are offered and what will best fit everyday life.
