About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She has two decades of social work experience and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety along with relationship and grief-related concerns. Jacqueline aims to listen first and create a space where people feel heard as they work through difficult moments.
She emphasizes straightforward, practical care. Sessions often start by building trust and understanding what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Jacqueline uses solution-focused conversations and cognitive-behavioral tools to identify small, achievable changes. She also draws on mindfulness and dialectical skills to help with emotional regulation and steadying daily routines. Her background includes work as a social work director and many years providing counseling for issues like depression, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and coping with life changes.
That mix of leadership and hands-on counseling shapes a calm, informed approach to clinical work. Jacqueline describes listening as her core skill. She aims to join clients in their concerns instead of judging them.
From there she helps people set realistic goals and practices they can use between sessions to reduce worry and improve relationships. Therapy with Jacqueline tends to be collaborative and practical. She supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleeping or eating concerns, and parenting-related stress.
Her sessions focus on what a person needs right now and on steps they can try next.
How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. Jacqueline uses this approach to help people feel heard and to build goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and introduces practical exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through concrete techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.Jacqueline treats selecting an approach as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Together they check what works and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep continuity with therapy around daily life.
