About Jacquelyn

Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She brings 17 years of counseling experience and a long history of listening to people who face hard life situations. Jackie focuses on issues parents often worry about, like stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns.

Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle day-to-day challenges. Jackie believes people carry answers inside them and that therapy is a place to uncover those answers together.

Background and approach

She builds a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere and stays present while people talk through what matters most to them. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background blends several clinical approaches, including client-centered work that emphasizes empathic listening, narrative ideas that look at personal stories, and psychodynamic perspectives that attend to patterns from the past.

Jackie draws from these methods to tailor steps that fit an individual’s situation. She also uses solution-focused methods to identify small, practical changes that can make daily life better. Jackie pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, codependency, trauma, and shame when they come up in session.

Her intention is to help people move toward greater balance in mind, body, and spirit. People who choose Jackie can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and collaborative planning. The work aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and build clearer choices for the future.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy centers on empathic listening and helping people feel heard. It focuses on understanding a person’s experience and supporting them to name goals and make choices that fit their values. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the events in their lives. It helps separate the person from the problem so they can reframe difficult patterns and find new meanings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with listening and validation, bringing in narrative tools to shift unhelpful stories, or using solution-focused steps to create immediate change. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to connect when in-person visits are difficult. Many people find that having several communication formats helps maintain momentum between sessions and supports steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
