Jackie Potts-Powell, LPC

Jackie Potts-Powell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 21 years of clinical experience helping adults explore who they are and where they want to go. She creates a grounded, nonjudgmental space where clients can slow down, be honest about their history, and decide what to carry forward and what to leave behind. Her approach emphasizes understanding rather than fixing, so people can make intentional choices about growth and change.

Licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas, Jackie challenges clients thoughtfully and respectfully to increase psychological flexibility. She guides people in reframing long-held viewpoints, examining patterns formed by life history, and shifting perspectives that may have once been protective but are no longer serving them. For Jackie, the past is important as a map for change, not a place to remain stuck.

Jackie believes meaningful progress comes from honest self-reflection coupled with acceptance of one’s life story without shame. From that grounded place she helps clients identify their current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like now, and move intentionally toward those goals through strategies like radical acceptance and empowered decision-making. She works best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the therapeutic process.

Her clinical strengths include relationship dynamics, identity development, perspective shifting, and guiding clients through transitions, breakthrough moments, or periods of recalibration. Jackie supports people facing issues such as relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue, tailoring work to each person’s unique circumstances.
