About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Walz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Minnesota who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body-image concerns, low self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and workplace issues. Jacqueline offers a calm, patient, and nonjudgmental presence during sessions.
Her approach begins with where each person is right now. She listens first, then works together with clients to set clear, practical goals.
How Jacqueline works
Sessions tend to focus on real-life steps people can try between meetings. Jacqueline uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and shift them toward more workable habits.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her method when people want to find their own motivation to make changes. Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy help reframe problems and focus on strengths and next steps. Jacqueline has three years of documented clinical experience as an LICSW and significant background supporting older adults and people facing end-of-life, hospice, and geriatric concerns.
She also brings experience coaching and guiding employees in workplace development. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jacqueline works with individual adults to help them move through difficult moments and toward clearer, manageable goals.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can test what works and adjust step by step.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach focuses on gentle conversation to boost motivation and make choices feel more doable. Narrative Therapy is used as well to rewrite troubling stories and highlight personal strengths and skills.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will listen to goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps identify tools that feel useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between meetings.
