Jacqueline Gilcrease

Jacqueline Gilcrease is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She brings ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacqueline aims to work with each person respectfully and with compassion as they look for clearer direction and more satisfying daily life.

She focuses on practical steps and honest conversation. Sessions typically involve identifying values, learning skills to manage difficult feelings, and figuring out small changes that fit a person's life. Jacqueline pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape current struggles and helps people untangle those patterns.

Clients who are dealing with caregiver stress, guilt and shame, feelings of isolation or loneliness, or questions about life purpose will find relevant experience in her practice. She also addresses post-traumatic stress, issues around self-love, women’s concerns, and workplace stress. Jacqueline uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then offers tools and perspectives that people can test between sessions. The focus is on real-world coping - skills you can use during a hard moment, at work, or in a relationship.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jacqueline uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline aims to learn each person's goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check in and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work between appointments using tools and skills introduced in sessions. Licensed professionals can work with clients by matching approaches and pacing to what feels manageable and useful in everyday life.
