About Jacklyn
Jacklyn Kenny Rothenberger is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, and the everyday stresses that leave people feeling stuck. She helps people facing drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions.
She also supports those coping with infidelity, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to military service. Her practice includes work on anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
How Jacklyn works
Jacklyn favors a strengths-based approach that starts with what is already working in a person’s life. She uses clear, skill-focused methods to help clients manage intense emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions emphasize practical tools people can use between meetings.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift thought patterns. She also uses skills commonly associated with dialectical approaches to build emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Conversations move at the client’s pace and center on concrete steps forward.
Jacklyn aims to make therapy straightforward and usable. She encourages honest talk about setbacks and small wins. People who want direct strategies for coping, rebuilding trust, or managing addictive behaviors may find her approach helpful.

Practical evidence-based techniques for online care
Jacklyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn concrete skills they can use day to day. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed addictive behavior. Dialectical-informed skills emphasize emotion regulation and interpersonal problem solving to help people tolerate distress and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which techniques to try first. Strategies are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with a focus on practical steps between sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, homework review, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
