Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jacqueline commonly blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices. Client-centered therapy means she starts by listening and helping people set their own goals, which supports issues like relationship strain and low self-esteem. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and address depression. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve day-to-day coping with stress and chronic health concerns.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and the problems they want to change. She adjusts pace and tools as people learn what helps, combining short skill practice, motivational conversations, and narrative techniques when helpful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging fit people who prefer written reflection, want quick skill reminders, or need support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing life demands.
