Background and approach
Sessions focus on tools people can use between meetings to reduce worry, manage intense emotions, and handle setbacks. Jacqueline also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape patterns over time. Jacqueline keeps conversations direct and compassionate.
She invites clients to describe their concerns and then helps set small, achievable goals. Work in sessions may include skill practice, thought records, and short experiments to test new behaviors in daily life. She offers flexible online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Sessions are delivered in English and follow standards for licensed practice in Ohio. Clients often come for help with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, parenting stress, or struggles with self-esteem and relationships. Jacqueline focuses on building practical skills and clearer thinking so people can move through difficult times with more confidence.
Approaches to anxiety and online care
Jacqueline uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks worries into manageable parts and teaches simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills useful for strong mood swings or intense anxiety.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jacqueline will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques or priorities as you learn what works best for managing stress, trauma reactions, or mood symptoms.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different situations. Video is helpful for a full conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or times when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, homework check-ins, or when a shorter, written exchange is easier to schedule. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other demands.
