Background and approach
Jacqueline combines several approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current relationship patterns.
Her work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused techniques to support emotional clarity and commitment to values. This mix helps when people face anxiety, grief, addiction, or relationship pain. It can also help with issues like body image, compulsions, and career stress.
Jacqueline has eight years of clinical experience and holds an LPC in Texas. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People who choose to begin fill a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit their needs.
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for people who feel stuck between wanting change and avoiding uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, OCD symptoms, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build different ways of relating when old habits cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches and evolve over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
