Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison, LCPC

Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life changes. Jackie listens to each person's story and works with them to find practical steps forward.

Jackie believes the answers often live with the person seeking help. In sessions she combines listening with clear tools and coping strategies. Clients can expect a focus on understanding patterns, learning skills, and making a plan for the next steps.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral strategies. She also uses client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and respond differently. For couples or partners, she incorporates principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection.

Jackie has 17 years of experience supporting people through loss, caregiving strain, health-related stress, and changes that come with aging and later life. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, body image, and intimacy-related concerns.

Sessions emphasize realistic tools and steady progress. Jackie aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life, with compassion and straightforward guidance. She welcomes conversations about goals, and helps people find workable ways to reach them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jackie uses attachment-based work to help people understand relationship patterns and how past connections affect current bonds. This approach is useful for intimacy concerns, abandonment issues, and reconnecting after losses or separations.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to change how someone reacts to difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. That plan can change as progress is made or needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also allow shorter sessions for quick coaching or longer sessions for deeper work depending on what you and the therapist agree will be most helpful.
