About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Johnson uses a client-centered style to guide people through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. She combines clear, practical tools with steady listening. Jacquelyn is an MD and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she brings 11 years of experience to her work in Maryland.
She begins by asking what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on building self-worth, improving communication, and managing strong emotions like anger, grief, or shame.
How Jacquelyn works
She also helps people cope with depression, bipolar mood shifts, and recovery from substance problems. Jacquelyn pays attention to life stages and medical issues. That includes chronic pain, illness, aging concerns, and caregiver stress.
She also supports people through postpartum depression and challenges that come from prejudice or discrimination. Her practice draws on several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing is used to discuss ambivalence around change, especially with addiction. Clients can expect straightforward goals and step-by-step strategies.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. The aim is to help people reconnect to their strengths and move forward with clearer choices.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Jacquelyn uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the person's lead to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jacquelyn will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together decide which methods fit best. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels doable and focused on practical results.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer talks and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing, short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep work on coping skills consistent.
