About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Rivers uses a client-centered, attachment-informed approach to help people make meaningful change. She listens first and then offers practical tools and perspectives. Jacqueline is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - practicing in New Mexico with ten years of experience.
She believes people already hold resources to change and that therapy can help surface them. Sessions typically blend attention to relationships, patterns from early life, and what the nervous system shows in the present.
How Jacqueline works
That mix helps when anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma make daily life harder. Jacqueline has worked with people facing relationship conflict, caregiving stress, and serious health challenges such as cancer. She also supports those dealing with life transitions, career questions, identity concerns including LGBT issues, and problems with intimacy or self-esteem.
Her practice includes attention to attachment issues, abandonment, and family of origin dynamics. She uses practical methods like solution-focused work and mindfulness to build coping skills. When trauma or overwhelming memories are present, she incorporates EMDR and trauma-focused strategies alongside other approaches.
Jacqueline adapts sessions to what a person needs in the moment and over time. Her background in family and child science and marriage and family therapy informs a systems view of problems. Jacqueline aims to create a straightforward, compassionate space where people can talk through struggles and try different ways of responding.

How attachment and trauma work translate to online care
Jacqueline uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people change those patterns through awareness and new experiences. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at a persons pace to build insight and coping skills.She also uses EMDR for trauma-focused work when memories or past events interfere with daily life. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and support healing alongside other therapeutic tools. Jacqueline will discuss options and tailor the approach so it matches each person's needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for relationship work and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions, get brief coaching, or manage smaller problems without scheduling a full video visit. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
