About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Higgins is an LPC based in Texas who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also pays attention to related areas like body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, impulsivity, multicultural issues, forgiveness, feelings of emptiness, self-love, and young adult issues. Jacqueline emphasizes practical tools while honoring each person's strengths and lived experience.

With five years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor, she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify patterns and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness practices are woven in when helpful to increase present-moment awareness and stress regulation.

Jacqueline frames therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is the expert on their own story and the therapist offers guidance, structure, and support. She encourages taking the first step toward change and aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented space where clients can explore challenges and build skills for more satisfying daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Jacqueline commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often focuses on practical skill-building for anxiety, stress, impulsivity, and mood regulation. She also incorporates client-centered methods that prioritize empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to guide the goals and pace of work. When helpful, mindfulness practices are introduced to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She emphasizes shared decision-making so treatment targets and methods evolve based on what proves most useful in session and in daily life.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for scheduling and for maintaining continuity during life transitions. These options allow clients to access consistent support and practical skill work from locations that suit their routines, with the same goal of making therapy accessible and adaptable to individual circumstances.
