About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Edwards is a licensed professional counselor in Connecticut who uses client-centered care to help people make practical changes. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. Jacqueline keeps sessions direct and compassionate so people can build on what already works for them.
She treats problems by listening first and learning what matters most to each person. Jacqueline blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation when needed. Over seven years of practice, Jacqueline has supported people facing issues like attachment challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems. She also helps with substance use concerns, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Her work includes addressing isolation, life purpose, and forgiveness concerns. Sessions aim to teach skills, try new behaviors, and reflect on progress. Jacqueline encourages small, doable steps that fit into real life.
She partners with each person to set goals and adjusts the approach as those goals shift. Jacqueline offers therapy in English and provides sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability through the platform’s matching process.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and motivation issues by shifting attention toward meaningful goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and practices new ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with behavior and mood.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Jacqueline talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules and different routines.
