Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel seen and understood as they begin to change.
Jaclene uses a mix of practical and relational methods to address symptoms and life patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot thinking patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps, and attachment-informed ideas to mend relational wounds.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels doable for each person. People come to Jaclene for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, intimacy issues, eating and sleep problems, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, dissociation, communication problems, and body image struggles.
Her work often addresses how past hurts affect present life. Jaclene offers in-person care in Wisconsin and also works remotely with English-speaking and international clients. She blends evidence-based practice with compassionate listening.
Together with each client she sets realistic goals and checks progress over time. Her style is steady and relational. She helps people practice new skills, try different ways of relating, and make small changes that add up.
The aim is to move toward greater ease, clearer priorities, and more satisfying relationships.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and supporting small, consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes relationship patterns and how early connections shape present bonds; it helps people improve closeness, manage fears of rejection, and change repeating cycles in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together the client and therapist try methods, adjust plans, and track progress so the approach fits the person’s needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and messaging or chat can fit around busy days or provide short ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across work, travel, or different schedules while focusing on practical skill-building and emotional processing.
