About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Lizarazo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Jackie centers sessions on the person in front of her and looks for strengths to build on. She aims to support people who are ready to make changes and wants clients to feel challenged and cared for in equal measure.
Her approach blends client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and find reason to keep going. Sessions typically include conversation, feedback, and between-session activities to practice new skills.
Jacqueline names codependency among her areas of focus and also addresses issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication and control problems, addiction, and grief related concerns. She invites honest conversations about the past when those stories matter to current struggles. She is direct when needed and aims for growth rather than comfort alone.
Working with her means being prepared for work between sessions. Homework may feel challenging at times because it’s designed to create change. Jacqueline offers a supportive presence and practical guidance to help clients build healthier patterns and greater confidence.
She practices in Illinois, holds LCSW credentials, and conducts sessions in English. International clients can be seen, and people are encouraged to confirm session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Jacqueline uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's goals and perspective. That approach means sessions focus on the concerns a person brings and on building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a central part of her practice; it involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. Clients are invited to share preferences so the approach fits their needs rather than pushing a single technique.
Details about session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick review is all that's needed, or longer sessions when deeper work is the goal. Licensed professionals can tailor the mix of tools from CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to match what the person needs and the time available.
