Welcome. Deciding to begin therapy can come with a mix of emotions—uncertainty, anxiety, maybe even fear. As a therapist, I deeply respect the courage it takes to take that first step, and I hope to walk alongside you as you navigate your own journey. My approach to counseling is eclectic, drawing from various methods to best support your unique needs. I believe our past experiences shape how we show up in the present, and that exploring these layers can lead to powerful insight and growth. I also work from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that people—both children and adults—are resilient, and with the right support, can access the tools they need to move forward. In addition to addressing a range of mental health concerns, I have a particular understanding of issues related to adoption, foster care, and multicultural identity. These are deeply personal and complex areas, often connected to core questions of identity: Who am I? Where do I come from? I’ve completed specialized training through the Center for Adoption Support and Education, and I strive to offer a space where these stories can be explored with care. You might be wondering whether we’d be a good fit—and that’s an important question. If you’re hoping to work with someone who is warm, supportive, and able to gently challenge you when needed, we may align well. If you're looking for someone who values mutual respect and time, who can both hold space and help you move toward solutions, that might also feel like a good match. If you want a therapist you can laugh with, cry with, and grow with—someone who will be present and engaged as you do the work—you may feel at home here. If any of this resonates with you, feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.

🌿 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.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
