How Jacquetta works
She uses plain conversation and practical tools so people can understand each step. Some clients want clear direction and skills to try between sessions. Others prefer a gentler, exploratory pace; she adjusts accordingly.
Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her combine steady listening with concrete strategies for mood, behavior, and relationships. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and building coping skills that fit everyday life.
Jacquetta emphasizes honesty and collaboration in the room. She invites people to name their goals and keeps them involved in planning treatment. The aim is to reduce distress, increase resilience, and help people feel more in control.
With 14 years of experience as an LCSW, she brings practical experience from varied settings. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients. Her practice offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaboration. It emphasizes the person's perspective and helps them name goals and make choices, which fits well into conversation-based video or phone sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and homework to change thoughts and behaviors; it works well through structured video sessions or messaging where tools and worksheets can be shared. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, including attention to distress tolerance and emotional regulation that can be practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers practical benefits that support consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines and to continue work over time.
