About Jacqueline

Codependency and communication problems are among the specific issues she addresses within relationship work.
Her approach is collaborative. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Jacqueline describes the first step as one of courage, and she aims to make the early sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She pays attention to motivation and practical skills, so people leave with things they can apply between meetings. Her style is respectful, direct, and compassionate.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It creates space for clients to set their own goals and explore issues at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills to help manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive reactions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to figure out which tools and methods feel most useful based on goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of client-centered listening, CBT exercises, and DBT skills over time as progress is made.
