About Jacqueline

Jacqueline "Jackie" Pattison is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Kansas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she helps clients explore personal history, emotions, and patterns to identify strengths and practical next steps for change. Jackie draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods including Internal Family Systems, attachment-based perspectives, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She emphasizes collaboration, listening deeply to each individual’s story, and offering education, coping strategies, and concrete skills to navigate life’s setbacks and goals. Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life while providing structure and guidance for growth.

Clients work with Jackie to process difficult experiences, build self-understanding, and create realistic plans for change. She frames counseling as a place to reflect on where one has been, where one is now, and where one wants to go, combining compassion with practical tools to support forward movement.

Approaches that guide online care

Jacqueline integrates Internal Family Systems and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centered therapy to shape remote sessions. Internal Family Systems helps people recognize and dialogue with different internal parts that influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which can be useful for addressing trauma, anxiety, and self-criticism. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional bonds formed across relationships, helping clients understand intimacy, trust, and communication challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and the client's own goals, creating space for individuals to lead the work while the therapist offers support and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jackie will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, combining approaches as needed and adjusting over time based on what proves most helpful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These online formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from wherever a client is located in Kansas and allow for different rhythms of contact, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or ongoing text-based check-ins.
