About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn (Jackie) Burns is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of counseling experience. She focuses on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Jackie aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
She approaches therapy believing people have inner strengths and answers they can build on. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a fixed formula.
How Jacquelyn works
Jackie listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck, then explores practical steps forward. Her work draws on client-centered listening, narrative exploration of life stories, and psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences influence current feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals.
Jackie often weaves together methods to fit the specific concern at hand. Common topics she addresses include intimacy and commitment issues, codependency, attachment wounds and abandonment, caregiver stress, social anxiety, identity and shame, and recovery from addictions. She also supports people facing career crossroads, parenting strain, anger, and questions about life purpose.
Jackie values dignity and nonjudgmental respect in the therapeutic relationship. Her style is steady and compassionate, with attention to both emotional healing and practical coping. She works with each person to find balance and small, sustainable changes that improve daily life.

Online support options
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person to find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs a respectful space to sort feelings, values, and choices. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and separates problems from the person, which helps with identity, shame, and relationship patterns. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to how past experiences and hidden patterns shape current reactions and can be helpful for long-standing issues like attachment wounds and repeating relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize listening, story work, insight into past patterns, or practical problem solving, and the plan can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
