About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years of experience. She works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, and social anxiety and phobia among other issues.
Jackie believes people often have strengths that help them work through hard times. She listens and helps clients name what matters and what gets in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as talking through underlying patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices.
Her approach draws on client-centered and psychodynamic ideas. That means she pays attention to what a person brings each week and also looks for deeper themes from life history and attachments that influence current feelings and behaviors. She also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people rewrite difficult stories and set short-term goals.
In sessions Jackie will explore issues like abandonment, codependency, guilt and shame, and commitment or control difficulties. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, and questions around life purpose and identity.
Jackie aims to help people find more balance and clearer direction. She values direct conversation about problems and practical strategies people can use between sessions. Her practice is based in Ohio and she conducts work in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps with confidence, self-esteem, and relationship decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, which can be useful for guilt, shame, social anxiety and life-purpose questions. Psychodynamic Therapy attends to recurring patterns from past relationships and attachment history, which can shed light on why certain fears or relationship dynamics repeat.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might help. That way therapy stays collaborative and adjusts if one approach is not working well for the person's needs.
The practical benefits of online sessions are that they can fit into everyday schedules and remove travel time, making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you plan to book, confirm the session formats Jackie currently offers before scheduling so you know what to expect. Online sessions can support steady progress through regular check-ins, short focused coaching between deeper conversations, and goal-oriented steps people can try between meetings.
