Jacqueline Childress

Jacqueline Childress is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She supports people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or hurt and wants to help them find clearer, more manageable ways forward. She respects each person's history and strengths when starting work together.

Jacqueline focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting pressures, career questions, and attention-related struggles. Her practice includes additional attention to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, multicultural issues, and identity-related hurts.

Her style begins with listening and learning each person's goals. She treats the client as the expert on their life and works to build on strengths, not just fix problems. Sessions emphasize practical steps that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Jacqueline draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions that are clear and focused. She offers coaching-style guidance when clients want practical strategies alongside deeper work. Over time she helps people test new behaviors and notice what changes help most.

People who choose her can expect a supportive counselor who balances empathy with real-world tools. She encourages small, steady steps toward better routines, healthier relationships, and clearer priorities. Her practice centers on collaboration, respect, and measurable progress.

Practical approaches and online support

Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific problems and skills. One approach emphasizes coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anger, stress, and anxiety by teaching ways to respond differently in tense moments. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and abuse in paced steps so painful memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning can improve.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions may blend skill-building and deeper processing as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, or let someone choose audio only if video feels like too much. Licensed professionals can adapt session length and pacing to help people apply new skills between meetings.
