Jacqueline Gilcrease

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings ten years of counseling experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacqueline aims to meet clients with compassion and respect as they look for ways to feel better. She emphasizes learning each person's values and goals before planning next steps.

Jacqueline uses a mix of therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas help examine how past relationships shape current patterns and close connections.

Her work also includes elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when appropriate, offering practical skills for intense emotions and trauma-focused methods when trauma is central. Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies and steady emotional support. Jacqueline pays attention to caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, workplace strain, and concerns many women face.

People who prefer a collaborative approach may find this style helpful. Jacqueline aims to build a plan together that fits each person's life and goals. She welcomes questions about her approach and encourages prospective clients to discuss what they hope to accomplish in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core parts of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and it can be more comfortable for discussing sensitive topics from a familiar setting. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like ACT values work, attachment-focused conversations, and EMDR-informed processing to work over remote sessions when appropriate.
