About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Higgins is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. She practices in Texas and speaks English. Jacqueline frames sessions around practical steps parents can use right away to feel more calm and confident.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the client. Jacqueline uses clear, goal-focused strategies so parents leave with concrete next steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes roles as a teacher, school counselor, and district LPC, bringing decades of experience in education and counseling to her work. That mix helps her translate ideas into everyday routines that fit family life and school schedules. Jacqueline draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes.
She also uses mindfulness practices to help people reduce reactivity and Solution-Focused strategies to build on what already works. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Clients can expect a supportive ear, small experiments to try at home, and help setting realistic goals.
Jacqueline encourages honesty about what’s working and what isn’t so plans can be adjusted over time.

Approaches that fit busy parenting lives
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. It helps parents feel heard and clarify what they most want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to shift them, which can help with anxiety, anger, and motivation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to try first based on goals, daily routines, and what feels manageable. Plans are adjusted over time so strategies match real life and priorities at home.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and notes about how strategies are going. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to try practical changes between meetings.
