Hello. I have spent nearly 20 years in the Human Services field and after earning my counseling psychology degree, it became even more clear how to best help others through the counseling process. Counseling is a process of self-discovery and being able to help people learn how to deal more effectively with situations in their lives appeals to my fascination with the human condition. It is important to build a therapeutic relationship so we are able to get a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions to support you in feeling better and moving forward. I utilize a variety of approaches, but commonly employ cognitive behavioral and solution focused approaches, and motivational interviewing techniques to explore issues including, but not limited to, depression, addiction and substance abuse, stress, anger, anxiety, problems with self- esteem, grief, issues related to mental and emotional health, and relational problems. I will meet you with unconditional positive regard and respect. Using active listening and reflections, my approach is individualized and client centered so as to support you in achieving your potential along with your goals and objectives. It is really powerful having trouble imagining a problem being solved, and as we work together, change and understanding both will happen along the way. I look forward to working with you! Take good care, and talk soon.

I am licensed in Wisconsin with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, motivation, & self esteem. I also have experience working with clients to build confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. In 2023 I discovered I am BRCA 1+. If you know what this is, you know it can be a very emotional and confusing journey. I went through the diagnosis, consultations on preventative care, treatment options, and ultimately made the best choice for my situation and my family. If you are positive for a mutation of the BRCA 1 gene, or know someone who is, and would like to receive therapy from a therapist who has personal experience, I believe I could be a helpful contact. I am willing to discuss and share my decisions but the purpose of therapy would not be for me to tell you what to do. It is a decision you must make for yourself, but I would be happy to help by navigating the numerous emotions (grief, loss, identity, depression, anger, etc.) that may come up in your journey.

After more than 20 years in the counseling fields as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Wisconsin, my approach to collaborating with clients has a two-fold approach. First, I believe in a holistic approach. Almost every problem we experience has various pieces. Somewhat like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces need to be laid out and evaluated to see the relationships among them to come up with solutions. This includes the present moment, our upbringing, our current employment, our own relationships, stresses past and present, any traumatic experiences we’ve had, etc. My second approach flows from the first belief in a holistic treatment. I encourage clients to develop a SANE lifestyle. Evidenced research shows a direct link among the elements of Sleep, Activities, Nutrition, and Exercise to our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I embody what I encourage others to do. I also believe the path to wholeness lies within each of us and through the experience of heartfelt conversations we find that power within to bring about our own healing.

🌿 Jaclene ā€œJackieā€ 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. šŸ•Šļø The First Session The first time we meet, you can leave your ā€œbest selfā€ 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, ā€œI didn’t realize how much I needed this.ā€ That feeling? That’s the beginning of something beautiful. šŸŽÆ 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. šŸ“– 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, ā€œMaybe it’s timeā€¦ā€ 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.

Does BetterHelp take insurance?

Yes, BetterHelp has joined with major insurance carriers in select states to provide in-network therapy coverage. Coverage may vary by plan, provider, and therapist availability. Insured members pay an average co-pay of around $19 per session. Average co-pay is based on current insured BetterHelp members.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Evansville due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Evansville may not take health insurance, some in the state of Wisconsin may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
