About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions. She brings 20 years of social work experience in New York to each session. Jacqueline speaks English and focuses on creating a calm space to talk and be heard.
She trained at Adelphi University for her master's in social work and spent many years in both clinical and leadership roles.
How Jacqueline works
Over time she chose to return to direct counseling because she prefers working face to face with people. That hands-on time shaped how she works with common life challenges like illness, caregiver strain, and major transitions. Jacqueline listens carefully and starts by building rapport so clients feel understood.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the client's experience, and she often brings in Solution-Focused strategies to set clear, practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify patterns of thinking that make feelings and behaviors harder to manage. In sessions she aims to be warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward.
Conversations move at the client's pace and focus on small, doable steps for change. Her experience includes support for bereavement, chronic illness and palliative care, parenting concerns, blended family stress, and communication problems. People who come for help leave with clearer next steps and skills to cope with anger, sleeping or eating concerns, codependency, and the ups and downs of life.
Jacqueline values collaborative care and works with each person to match strategies to their needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and learning new ways to respond, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating issues. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and small steps that build momentum, useful for stress, communication problems, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and tailor a plan based on your goals and preferences. Together you can try strategies and adjust them as needed until you find what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video allows face-to-face conversation while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be used for quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These options provide flexibility to schedule appointments around work, caregiving, or health needs and to use tools that suit your comfort and routine.
