Jacqueline Gilcrease

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacqueline also pays attention to life purpose, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, loneliness, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.

Jacqueline uses clear, practical conversation to help people untangle what feels stuck. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, how thoughts and behaviors are connected, and small steps that can change daily patterns. She draws on several evidence-based methods when they fit the situation, and explains ideas in plain language so they can be tried between visits.

When people come in unsure what comes next, Jacqueline helps them notice values and priorities. Work and life transitions often bring worry and doubt; she helps people sort priorities, set manageable goals, and practice skills for stress and emotion regulation. She also supports people who are recovering from traumatic events or navigating grief.

Her style is collaborative and structured. Jacqueline often blends acceptance and action-focused tools with techniques that address relationships and traumatic memories. Sessions typically include goal setting, skills practice, and reflection on progress across weeks.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and concrete strategies find this approach useful. Jacqueline invites questions about how therapy will fit into daily life and what steps feel most helpful at the moment.

How Jacqueline uses specific approaches in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and uncertainty about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, works with memories that continue to cause distress and can be part of trauma-focused work when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will talk through options, try methods in session, and adjust based on your goals and what helps. That collaborative process is a central piece of planning care rather than a one-time decision.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also make it simpler to use tools and worksheets during a session. If you need a particular arrangement to balance work, caregiving, or appointments, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect those needs.
