About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and addictions. Jacqueline aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly.
She emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own lives and works alongside them to meet clear goals. Jacqueline blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and to teach skills for managing mood and worry. She also uses acceptance-based strategies to help people live with difficult feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. Attachment-based ideas help her look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Emotionally focused approaches guide conversations about closeness and communication, especially when intimacy or relationship concerns are part of the picture. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Clients come for a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, trauma and abuse, body image, hoarding, panic, OCD patterns, and multicultural or identity-related stress.
Jacqueline also works with people facing career strain, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. She explains techniques plainly and helps clients practice new ways of handling everyday situations. Her style is warm and steady.
Jacqueline helps people notice the beliefs that keep them stuck and then try small, manageable changes. The goal is clearer priorities, better coping, and more meaningful connection to what matters in life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed action even when emotions are uncomfortable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a joint process, and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps the client make progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work; live chat and texting allow for brief check-ins and reflection between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and travel commitments.
