About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacqueline also addresses caregiver stress, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, workplace concerns, self-love, and guilt and shame.
In sessions she listens and talks through the problems that are most pressing. She uses established approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Jacqueline explains things in plain language and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.
She pays attention to how relationships and attachment patterns shape current struggles. That perspective can be helpful for people who feel stuck in repeated patterns with others. Jacqueline also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
When trauma is part of the history, she integrates trauma-focused methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing alongside other approaches. Sessions often blend talking, skills practice, and structured exercises aimed at small, manageable changes.
Jacqueline frames therapy around each person's values and goals. She helps people clarify what matters to them and then takes practical steps toward those aims. People who are weighed down by guilt or shame may find she addresses those feelings directly while also working on coping and rebuilding a sense of self.
How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and feelings of meaninglessness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and practicing new ways of responding. It is useful for stress, worry, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that targets memories and reactions tied to past traumatic events. It can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest methods that fit those aims. The selection is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
