I have 16 years of counseling experience and work with teens, adults, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also support clients dealing with panic, OCD, sleep concerns, relationship issues, family conflict, and substance use.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I take an open-minded, holistic, and solution-oriented approach, and I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I provide therapy in English and French.

Jacklyn Byrd

Jacklyn Byrd

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hi, I’m Jacklyn (they/she), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, practicing since 2019. I specialize in working with queer and trans adolescents and adults navigating identity, life transitions, and trauma. I also love supporting neurodivergent clients who want therapy that meets them where they are — with flexibility, creativity, and respect for their lived experience.

My approach is somatic, relational, and affirming. I believe healing happens when we slow down, listen to the body, and build a sense of safety and connection — both within yourself and in the therapeutic relationship. Our work together helps you deepen self-awareness, strengthen your ability to stay present, and reconnect with your innate capacity for resilience.
