About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Arcand is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feel more motivated and confident. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address patterns like codependency and substance use. Jacqueline presents a calm presence and aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable.
Jacqueline sees the person as the expert in their own life. She asks clear questions about what feels wrong, how problems developed, and what can be done now. Sessions tend to focus on small, real changes that build self-esteem and restore trust in relationships.
Her approach draws from several therapy methods so she can match tools to each person’s needs. That mix includes work with attachment experiences, narrative techniques to rewrite personal stories, cognitive-behavioral tools for changing unhelpful thoughts, and EMDR for trauma processing. She uses these methods flexibly rather than sticking to a single model.
Jacqueline has worked in clinical roles for about 10 years and holds an LCSW. She is licensed in Arizona and practices from an Alaska location. Her background includes helping people after trauma, with addiction issues, and with family of origin concerns.
People often come to her for relationship struggles, grief, eating and intimacy issues, or difficulties adjusting to life changes. She aims for a respectful, down-to-earth style and supports each person as they try new ways of coping.
How Jacqueline’s Approaches Fit Online Work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or feeling safe with others by looking at how past bonds influence current behavior.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pacing. It offers space to be heard without judgment and is useful for building self-esteem and clarifying what matters most to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps.
