About Jacqueline

Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas who assists people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, and other major life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches each person's story with curiosity and respect, helping clients identify practical tools, coping strategies, and steps forward while honoring their individual experiences and values. Jackie draws on several methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, and client-centered techniques to help clients process emotions, build understanding, and develop tailored plans for change.

She emphasizes collaboration, education, and compassion - believing that many answers emerge from within once a person has the space and support to explore them. Her practice also addresses concerns such as intimacy, parenting, career decisions, caregiver stress, codependency, and adjustment after loss.

With 17 years of professional experience, Jackie aims to create a respectful therapeutic environment where people can reflect on past patterns, experiment with new approaches, and move toward clearer goals. She invites clients to share their stories and to work together on practical, realistic steps toward wellbeing.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jackie frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early connections to support healthier emotional bonds and improved communication in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jackie works with clients to understand goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailors the methods used so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model. Clients participate in deciding which techniques to try and how to adapt them for online use.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to access therapy from home, manage care around work or family commitments, and continue consistent support even when life is busy or in transition.
