About Jacqueline
Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, depression, trauma, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She works with people who are carrying heavy emotions and need a steady presence to help them sort through next steps.
Jackie treats each person as an individual and listens first to learn their story. She values practical tools, clear communication, and steady support.
Background and approach
Jackie believes the answers are often inside the person, and therapy helps bring those answers into view. She uses education, coping strategies, and planning alongside emotional processing. Sessions aim to build understanding, skills, and small steps that move a person forward.
The approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Her training and 17 years of experience guide how she blends different methods to match a person’s situation. Jackie draws on attachment ideas to look at close relationships and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Mindfulness practices and relationship-focused work are added when useful. In session she offers straightforward feedback, active listening, and concrete suggestions. She treats grief, loss, and life transitions with patience and respects where clients are in their healing.
Jackie’s goal is to help people make manageable changes so daily life feels more possible. Jackie holds an LCPC, Kansas Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and practices from Kansas. She welcomes conversations about what someone needs and how therapy could fit into their life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape the way someone connects and responds to others. Online sessions can use attachment-focused conversations to improve communication and emotional safety in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote work this often translates into goal-setting, tracking reactions between sessions, and practicing new skills in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and acceptance to help the client find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as trust grows and goals become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives and practice skills between meetings.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
