Jackie Potts-Powell

Jackie Potts-Powell, LPC, offers a grounded and nonjudgmental setting where people from all backgrounds can slow down, show up authentically, and take an honest look at who they are and how they got here. Her work is centered on understanding rather than “fixing” - helping clients build enough self-awareness to decide what still fits, what needs to change, and where growth is most meaningful right now.

With 21 years of experience and licensure as a professional counselor in Louisiana and Texas, she brings a thoughtful, respectful style that includes gentle challenge when it supports progress. She helps clients develop psychological flexibility by looking at long-held beliefs, recognizing patterns shaped by life history, and reframing perspectives that may once have been protective but are no longer helpful in the present. The past is treated as important information - not a place to remain stuck, but a guide for clarifying what to keep, what to revise, and what to place in the archive rather than carry into daily life.

Jackie believes meaningful change grows from honest self-reflection and full acceptance of who a person has been, without shame or avoidance. From that steady foundation, she works collaboratively to identify a client’s current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like now, and take intentional steps forward - whether that includes radical acceptance, empowered decision-making, or choosing a new direction. She works best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in therapy, with particular strengths in relationship dynamics, empowerment, identity development, perspective shifting, and navigating periods of transition with clarity and purpose.
