Jackie Potts-Powell

Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of clinical experience. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can slow down and look honestly at who they are. Sessions focus on understanding patterns and deciding what to keep, change, or let go.

Jackie asks direct, thoughtful questions and challenges unhelpful viewpoints with respect. She helps clients reframe long-held beliefs and increase psychological flexibility. That work can free people from patterns that once protected them but now hold them back.

Her approach centers on clear self-reflection paired with acceptance. Clients identify their current stage of change and choose realistic next steps. Goals can range from radical acceptance to making a decisive shift in life direction.

Jackie commonly helps people dealing with relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and identity issues, and the stress of life transitions. She also supports those coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Divorce and separation is listed among areas she addresses.

She generally works with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in therapy. Sessions aim to bring clarity and purposeful movement through transition, recalibration, or breakthrough.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Jackie describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people rethink long-held beliefs and increase flexibility. One common approach is cognitive reframing, which helps clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts so they can respond differently to challenges and stressors.

Another useful technique focuses on acceptance paired with action. This involves naming what has happened, allowing real feelings to exist without shame, and then deciding on practical next steps to move forward. These methods often help with relationship patterns, life transitions, and coping with grief or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That process includes checking in about what helps, adjusting direction, and setting clear, achievable steps.
