About Jackie
Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of experience licensed in Louisiana and Texas. She works with adults in their mid-twenties and older on relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, trauma and other life changes. Her focus includes codependency and attachment concerns when those patterns show up in relationships and daily life.
Jackie creates a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and look honestly at who they are. She does not frame therapy as fixing a person. Instead she helps people notice long-standing patterns and decide what to keep, what to change, and what to let go of.
Her approach asks clients to reflect on how past experiences shaped current behavior. Jackie challenges unhelpful viewpoints in thoughtful, respectful ways so clients can become more flexible in how they respond to stress and conflict. She uses perspective-shifting to help people reframe situations that once felt protective but now limit them.
Work in sessions often includes identifying what stage of change someone is in and clarifying concrete next steps. That might mean practicing new ways to set limits, learning different responses to triggers, or making clearer decisions about relationships. Jackie aims to help people move toward choices that fit their present life.
She often supports people during transitions, moments of recalibration, or when they want to better understand relationship dynamics and identity. Her style is direct and practical, focused on clear thinking and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Jackie uses evidence-based techniques that emphasize shifting perspective and increasing psychological flexibility. One common method she relies on helps people notice long-standing thoughts and behaviors and practice new responses. This approach helps with relationship patterns, people-pleasing, and anxiety by teaching alternative ways to react rather than automatically repeating old habits.Another focus is working with attachment-related patterns and codependency dynamics. Sessions involve looking at how early relationships shaped current expectations and practicing clearer boundaries and decision-making. That kind of work can make it easier to recognize when a relationship pattern is costing personal wellbeing and to try different behaviors in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie will talk with clients about goals, test different techniques, and adjust based on what is helpful. The therapist and client decide together which methods best match the client’s needs and preferences.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions fit into busy schedules, make regular check-ins easier, and allow focused conversations without travel time. Others prefer shorter, phone-based check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Discussing practical session timing and format happens early so therapy can fit into everyday life.
