About Jacqueline
Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Kansas Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief and life changes. Jackie also addresses issues like intimacy, parenting, career pressures, compassion fatigue and trauma and abuse.
Jackie centers conversations on each person's story. She listens to what has happened and what feels hard now. Then she helps identify practical steps, coping tools, and ways to understand patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Her approach mixes talking, skills practice, and reflection. She uses attachment concepts to look at how relationships affect feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and on client-centered principles to keep the pace focused on the client.
Sessions often include learning small strategies to manage anxiety or mood, planning next steps for relationship or career concerns, and practicing new ways to communicate. Jackie describes therapy as a process of discovering personal answers and building steps forward.
People who meet with her can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and concrete strategies. She invites clients to explore where they have been, where they are now, and where they want to go, then make a plan together.
Approaches used in online sessions
Jacqueline often blends attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. Attachment-based ideas look at how early and close relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns, which can help with intimacy and relationship problems.Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so conversations stay relevant to personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical steps to reframe unhelpful thinking and change routines that worsen anxiety or depression.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying short experiments with thinking skills, relationship exercises, or mindfulness practices and adjusting as needed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into busy days and avoiding travel time.
