Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison, LCPC

Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and big life changes. Jackie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can take the next step forward.

Jackie sees counseling as a partnership where the client’s story comes first. She listens to where someone has been and what they want to change. Then she helps build simple, realistic plans that include coping tools, education, and steps to try between sessions.

Her approach pulls from attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. That means sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing small behavior changes, and learning ways to manage strong emotions.

Jackie emphasizes compassion and clear techniques rather than jargon. She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment worries, communication problems, and the effects of aging or illness such as cancer.

With 17 years of experience, Jackie focuses on helping clients find what works for them in daily life. She encourages gradual progress and concrete actions, not quick fixes. Prospective clients who want to begin can use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand recurring reactions in close relationships and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and pace, letting conversations steer what to work on and helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it offers clear exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior when anxiety or depression is present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan fits how the client responds and what feels useful.

Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like avoiding travel time, squeezing in a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or choosing a meeting style that reduces the need for video. These practical benefits help many people maintain consistency and apply what they learn between sessions.
