She says therapy can be emotionally demanding at times and may bring up strong feelings, but that processing those emotions is part of growth. She also balances challenging work with week-to-week catch ups to track progress.

Her experience includes supporting people through issues like abandonment, codependency, communication and commitment concerns, substance-related problems, chronic illness and pain, body image, and end-of-life matters.

How Jacqueline’s approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist creates space for clients to tell their story and helps them set goals that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That means sessions can include reflective conversation, skill practice, or short assignments to try between meetings. The plan can change as progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - fewer travel needs, easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and the chance to do brief check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. It can also let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises at home between meetings, which helps turn session work into everyday habits. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to what works practically for each client.
