About Jacqueline
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 5 years of post-licensure clinical experience, Jacqueline Higgins focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, life transitions, and ADHD. She also pays attention to body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related issues, multicultural concerns, and young adult difficulties. Jacqueline works using client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
Jacqueline frames sessions around what the client brings. She listens first and uses practical cognitive behavioral tools to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with anxious thinking and to increase present-moment awareness. Solution-focused steps are used when people want clear, short-term goals and concrete next moves.
In the room she treats the person as the expert on their own life. Conversations aim to build on existing strengths and break down issues into manageable steps. Sessions can include skill practice, thought records, brief behavioral experiments, and grounding or breathing exercises.
Her background includes prior work as a teacher, school counselor, and district LPC, which shaped a practical, straightforward style. Jacqueline emphasizes collaboration - setting goals together and checking progress each session.
People who want direct, skills-based help for anxiety, parenting strain, relationship stress, or coping with life changes may find her approach clear and task-focused. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Jacqueline uses CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work online
Client-centered therapy starts with the client's perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people identify strengths they can use to address problems. This approach helps when someone needs a clearer sense of direction or wants a collaborative plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. In short, it uses exercises like thought records and small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with anxious or intrusive thinking. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals and preferences with each person and recommend techniques from these approaches as appropriate. The choice of strategies is collaborative and reviewed as progress is tracked. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking. The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so ask which formats are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or enabling work on skills between meetings.Sheet 3
