About me

🌿 Jaclene “Jackie” LPC
Therapist for the tender-hearted, the exhausted, the soul-weary, and the deeply feeling.

Hi, I’m Jackie—and I’m not just a therapist. I’m a gentle guide for the moments when life breaks you open.

With over nine years of experience walking with teens, adults, and couples through trauma, anxiety, grief, and relational wounds, I offer a space that feels like safety wrapped in compassion. A place where you can unravel—without judgment—and begin again, piece by piece, in your own time and way.

Whether your pain is loud or quiet, recent or long buried, I’ll meet you there with reverence. Because I don’t just believe in healing—I believe in you.

🌺 What It’s Like to Work With Me
Therapy with me is like being offered a cup of tea and a soft chair for your soul. My style is warm, intuitive, and deeply relational. I listen not just to your words—but to the story behind them. I’ll sit with you in the dark, but I’ll always be holding a lantern.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin. Whether you're laughing through tears, whispering things you've never said out loud, or sitting quietly as your heart speaks—I’ll be right there beside you.

🕊️ The First Session
The first time we meet, you can leave your “best self” at the door. This is the space where masks come off, pressure dissolves, and the truth is welcomed.

We’ll talk about what brought you here—but gently, at your pace. My goal isn’t to fix or diagnose—it’s to see you. To help you feel, maybe for the first time in a long while, that you are safe. That you are no longer walking alone.

Most clients say, “I didn’t realize how much I needed this.” That feeling? That’s the beginning of something beautiful.

🎯 How We’ll Set Goals Together
Your healing isn’t a checklist. It’s a living, breathing journey. Together, we’ll listen closely to what your heart needs, what your body is holding, and what your future is quietly asking for.

I’ll help you set goals that are compassionate, realistic, and rooted in your deeper why—not just what you want to stop feeling, but what you want to start becoming. We’ll track your growth in the subtle ways that matter: the way your breath softens, the way your relationships shift, the way you come home to yourself.

🧠 How I Practice Therapy
I bring both science and soul to this work. I’m trained in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT, and use Gottman Therapy to support couples in building lasting intimacy. But I’m also an eclectic therapist, meaning I blend in art therapy, music, somatic techniques, inner child work, and the inspired insights of thought leaders like Esther Perel.

Your healing isn’t cookie-cutter, so neither is my therapy. Each session is crafted with care, creativity, and respect for your unique story.

🌻 Who I Help
I hold space for those in pain—whether it’s loud and messy or silent and aching.

I work with teens sorting through identity, emotions, and the pressure of growing up; adults stuck in anxiety, burnout, or trauma; and couples who love each other but feel miles apart. I help people untangle patterns they’ve carried for years—and start rewriting the story in a way that finally feels like freedom.

If you feel lost, broken, disconnected, or just plain tired… I see you. You’re exactly where you need to be to begin again.

📖 Why I Became a Therapist
My journey into this work started with a story. A book my grandmother gave me when I was a child—about a quiet psychotherapist who helped others find their way through pain. Something in that story spoke directly to my spirit. I didn’t know then what it meant—but I do now.

I became a therapist because I’ve always seen the pain behind people’s smiles. Because I’ve always wanted to lift the weight of sorrow where I could. Because somewhere deep down, I’ve always believed: we are not meant to suffer alone.

Being a therapist isn’t what I do—it’s who I am. It’s my offering. My promise. My part in the healing of this world.

✨ If Your Heart is Whispering, “Maybe it’s time…”
I invite you to follow that whisper.
You don’t need to be perfect, ready, or sure. You just need to be willing.

Let’s begin this journey—together.
