How Jacqueline works
Jacqueline listens for strengths and uses them as a starting point for change. Her experience includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction and codependency. She also assists people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, and bipolar disorder.
Additional focus areas include attachment issues, family of origin concerns, first responder stress, immigration-related stress, and reactions to natural or human-caused disasters. Jacqueline uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at patterns that come from past relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative and client-centered methods help people tell their story and find their own solutions. EMDR may be offered when trauma processing is needed.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Jacqueline supports clients through scheduling and practical next steps, and helps them set goals that feel manageable and realistic.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that cause distress. In remote sessions CBT uses practical exercises, homework, and step-by-step skill building that translate well to phone or video work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that aims to lessen the intensity of traumatic memories; when appropriate EMDR techniques can be adapted for remote delivery with clear procedural steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to choose which method or combination fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change when useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls approximate an in-person conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let someone send updates or work through thoughts between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and respond to changing needs.
