About Jacquelyn

Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, anxiety, depression, and other life stresses. Jackie also works with concerns related to addictions, sexual identity and LGBT issues, eating problems, anger, and coping with life changes.

Jackie uses a listening, person-centered manner in sessions. She believes people have inner resources and can learn from their experience. That belief shapes how she structures time together and how goals are set. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical next steps when those fit the person's needs.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods alongside psychodynamic and narrative perspectives. That means she pays attention to personal stories, recurring patterns, and the meanings people give to events. Solution-focused techniques are used to build concrete skills and small, workable changes between sessions.

Jackie has worked for many years with adults dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also brings experience with shame, guilt, forgiveness work, and issues around life purpose and commitment. These areas often come up in conversations about relationships and parenting.

People who work with Jackie can expect a steady, respectful conversation about what matters most to them. She aims to help clients clarify problems, identify patterns that hold them back, and try modest, practical ways to change. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from the client’s point of view. It helps people who need someone to reflect back their experience and clarify what matters most to them.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and the stories people carry about themselves. This approach can help when recurring relationship difficulties or long-standing feelings of shame and guilt are present.

Solution-focused work narrows attention to small, practical changes. It is used to set concrete goals and try manageable strategies between sessions, which can be useful for stress, parenting pressures, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and focused.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often adjust pacing and homework to work well in virtual appointments, helping people practice new skills between meetings.
