About Jacqueline
She uses simple, direct conversation to help clients clarify goals and try new ways of coping. Sessions often include noticing what matters most, learning small skills to manage strong emotions, and testing different actions between meetings. Jacqueline emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes seven years working with people facing grief, parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, body image, and impulse control. This range helps her adapt tools to fit each person’s situation.
Jacqueline draws on several approaches when planning work with a client. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas about values and action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques for managing thoughts and behaviors, and Attachment-Based perspectives on close relationships. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
If someone is new to therapy, Jacqueline invites them to take a first step by describing what they want to change. She works collaboratively to set simple, doable goals and to track what helps most from week to week.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. Together they set concrete aims and try techniques in ways that feel manageable for day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Before booking, confirm which session options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions happen during a lunch break or between errands. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into routines while still focusing on the same kinds of goals and skills used in face-to-face care.
