Jacqueline Arcand, LCSW

Jacqueline Arcand is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addictions, trauma, and related concerns like jealousy. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on boosting motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. People come to her wanting clearer answers about what is wrong and what to do next, and she works alongside them to find practical steps.

She has ten years of professional experience and holds an LCSW credential. Jacqueline describes therapy as a collaborative space where clients bring their knowledge of their own story and she offers guidance and tools. Her work draws on several approaches so she can tailor the process to each person’s needs.

Sessions often look like talking through patterns, naming strengths, and practicing different ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. She also helps people unpack painful experiences from the past and how those experiences affect current relationships and self-worth.

Jacqueline uses methods that encourage connection to one’s experiences and personal narrative while also addressing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. She aims to make change feel manageable by breaking goals into small, doable steps. Taking that first step can feel brave, and she offers steady support through the process.

She is based in Alaska and works in English. Prospective clients who want to begin are asked to use the provider's matching process to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches come alive online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and trust and practices new, healthier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities; the therapist follows the client’s pace, listens closely, and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce the need to be on camera if a phone conversation works better. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to choose what fits your routine.
