Jacqueline Gilcrease, LPC

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has 10 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She aims to work alongside clients with compassion and respect as they pursue a more satisfying life.

Jacqueline focuses on understanding each person’s values, needs, and goals. She listens first, then helps people decide practical next steps. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to feelings and daily challenges.

Her work also includes caregiver issues and stress, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Jacqueline supports people navigating post-traumatic stress, building self-love, and handling workplace or women’s issues. She adapts tools to the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Jacqueline uses several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. She explains methods clearly and helps clients try techniques that fit their life.

People who prefer a respectful, collaborative counselor may find her approach helpful. She encourages clear goals and small, achievable steps. Anyone considering support should confirm session options and scheduling when they reach out.

How Jacqueline’s approaches fit with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and manageable day-to-day difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it can be helpful for trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life.

Confirm the session formats before booking since this profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like CBT and ACT in the flow of everyday life, practicing skills between sessions and bringing real situations into the conversation.
