Background and approach
She helps people who are dealing with grief, relationship and family problems, mood concerns, and the challenges that come with chronic illness or caregiving. Her counseling style is gentle and interactive. Sessions often begin with listening and understanding, then move into practical strategies tailored to daily life.
She uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Jacqueline also incorporates mindfulness and motivational techniques when they fit the client's goals. She sometimes uses expressive tools like journaling, art, or music to help people name and process feelings.
The focus is on small, doable steps that can make everyday tasks feel more manageable. People who meet with Jacqueline can expect a steady, empathetic presence and a collaborative plan. She works with each person to find approaches that match their needs and preferences, paying attention to practical outcomes and how changes feel in real life.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Jacqueline often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and gives concrete tools for tackling anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and challenges linked to ADHD.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can be useful when feelings become intense or when someone needs better ways to manage strong reactions. Her client-centered work means sessions begin by following the person’s concerns and priorities, with the therapist guiding rather than directing.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person’s goals, needs, and daily routine. She will check in and adjust methods as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while working toward meaningful change.
