About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn "Jackie" McDougle uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 15 years of experience. Jackie focuses on clear, practical conversations and helps people find steps they can try between sessions.
She adapts methods to fit each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That means she listens closely, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns, and teaches skills for emotion regulation and coping.
How Jacquelyn works
Sessions aim to build skills as well as explore underlying concerns. Jackie works with issues such as parenting strain, self-esteem, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also offers coaching around life purpose, forgiveness, self-love, and workplace problems.
Her approach balances support with concrete tools to manage daily challenges. People can expect straightforward language and a respectful tone in sessions. Jackie emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies, like behavioral experiments and mindfulness techniques adapted from DBT.
Progress is tracked through small, achievable goals to make change feel manageable. Her practice offers several remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs. Jackie encourages open talk about goals and preferences at the first meeting so the plan fits the individual.

How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. Online sessions let a therapist reflect back your concerns and help you clarify goals, making it easier to plan small changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions the therapist helps identify unhelpful thoughts, suggests experiments to test them, and assigns brief exercises to practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills translate well to online work through guided exercises, worksheets, and live coaching during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in about what is helping and adjust techniques as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and homework follow-up easier to fit into a busy day. These choices make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and flexible.
