Jacquelyn 'Jackie' Newman-Hoppe, LPC

Jacquelyn 'Jackie' Newman-Hoppe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family struggles, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on finding practical ways to improve daily functioning and relationships. Jackie aims to make change feel possible and manageable for people who are overwhelmed by life transitions or ongoing difficulties.

Jackie favors straightforward, solution-focused work that listens first and then builds steps forward. She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person, including cognitive-behavioral ideas, acceptance-based tools, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening. Sessions center on clear goals and small experiments clients can try between meetings.

Her life experience as the partner of an Air Force veteran, a parent of five, and a grandparent informs her perspective and empathy. Jackie draws on that background when helping people navigate blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving strain, and communication or commitment problems.

She has 12 years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Missouri. Jackie works with people dealing with broader challenges too, such as chronic illness and pain, body image and eating concerns, bipolar disorder, codependency, domestic violence recovery, and issues tied to cancer or long-term caregiving.

Her goal is to help clients find clearer choices and build coping strategies that fit real life. Jackie invites people to take small, steady steps toward better daily functioning and more satisfying relationships.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-specific skills like sleep or worry management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment, which supports stress reduction and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will discuss your concerns, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to focus on and how to apply them to daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments between sessions in real-life settings. Talk with the therapist about what will work best given your schedule, goals, and comfort with different session styles.
