Online support options
Approach-focused care for online therapy
Jacqueline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and she brings client-centered conversation to sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy; it can help with commitment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and reflection to build insight and self-direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to figure out what fits their goals and needs. She checks in about what helps and adjusts methods as the relationship develops so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
