Jacquelyn 'Jackie' Newman-Hoppe , LPC

Jacquelyn 'Jackie' Newman-Hoppe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 12 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges. She focuses on improving daily functioning, clarifying values and goals, and supporting emotional growth so people and families can move toward healing and greater well-being. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication difficulties, parenting struggles, career stressors, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, ADHD, and substance use issues among clients and their family members.

One of her particular strengths is working with blended families, a focus shaped by her own experience blending five children years earlier; that personal journey influenced her decision to pursue counseling and continues to inform her work with complex family dynamics. She brings a warm, interactive, and solution-focused style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, drawing on unconditional acceptance and attentive listening to create a supportive space for change.

Her approach is eclectic and tailored to each person’s needs, often integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with humanistic perspectives and other evidence-informed methods to design treatment plans that fit individual goals. She encourages clients to view themselves as experts on their own lives while partnering with them to explore options, identify practical strategies, and pursue a more satisfying, balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify their values and take purposeful action, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes committed steps toward what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical strategies to change them. CBT is effective for mood concerns, anxiety, OCD symptoms, and many everyday challenges by teaching concrete skills for managing thoughts and reactions.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional acceptance, and active listening to help people explore their experiences and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and personal growth by honoring each person’s perspective.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacquelyn will collaborate with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods so therapy fits the individual’s life. This collaborative process helps ensure that treatment feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow people to receive care from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support across life transitions while working with licensed professionals.
