About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Shannon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon who focuses on practical support for stress and anxiety. She blends relational understanding with down-to-earth conversation to help people facing life changes and difficult emotions. Jacqueline uses clear, direct questions and approachable humor to make hard topics easier to talk about.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-based thinking to track how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools are used to help people clarify values and take small meaningful steps toward them. Her work is informed by about ten years of clinical practice supporting people with mood concerns, anxiety, and addiction-related struggles.
Jacqueline has experience guiding clinicians in leadership roles and brings that perspective to collaborative treatment planning. She favors practical strategies people can use between sessions as well as in the moment during meetings. Jacqueline often helps people with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, career transitions, and issues around identity and belonging.
She also addresses codependency, communication problems, and caregiver fatigue. She frames change as a series of small actions that add up over time. Sessions are offered in English and are adapted to each person’s needs.
Jacqueline aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship first, then match approaches to a person’s goals and lifestyle.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and relationship work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small values-based steps even when anxiety or doubt shows up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior, then practicing concrete alternatives to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and teaches new ways of relating that reduce conflict and isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She mixes approaches as needed and checks in about what is helping and what feels off to adjust the plan together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules or distance make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be helpful for a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style contact while someone works on day-to-day challenges.
