About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lacy-Diggins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Arkansas with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and helps those coping with life changes. Jacqueline also lists concerns including self-esteem, communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.

She uses practical, conversation-based methods to help people sort through difficult emotions. Sessions focus on building clearer thinking, learning tools to manage upsetting thoughts, and setting small goals that fit everyday life. Jacqueline draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead and on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful patterns.

Her practice also addresses relationship strain, midlife transitions, and issues connected to family of origin. She supports people facing divorce, infidelity, and the aftermath of domestic violence, and works with those dealing with addiction and eating-related struggles. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Jacqueline combines solution-focused strategies with trauma-focused approaches when the past continues to affect day-to-day functioning. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and build coping skills for intense memories or reactions. The emphasis is on clear, usable tools rather than technical language.

Her work is described as collaborative and grounded in nearly three decades of practice. People who want to address guilt or shame, reclaim a sense of purpose, or navigate major life transitions will find practical techniques and steady, experienced support.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jacqueline commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on letting the client lead conversations so their priorities guide the work, which helps when people need to talk through guilt, shame, or difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and persistent self-blame.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That means trying practical exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. The focus is on making therapeutic work fit daily life and on applying client-centered and CBT tools in ways that serve each person’s situation.
