About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Young is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who focuses on anxiety along with related concerns such as stress, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She brings ten years of experience to therapy and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical for people under pressure. She keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth.
Jacqueline listens closely and avoids labels, so people can talk about what matters without feeling judged.
Background and approach
She works with individual adults on issues like substance use, parenting stress, intimacy questions, and problems that come from trauma and loss. Her style mixes goal-focused tools with chances to understand how feelings and past experiences connect to current problems. Jacqueline helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small changes, and build clearer plans for everyday life.
She uses approaches that emphasize thinking patterns, practical steps, and exploring recurring emotional themes. Jacqueline draws on clinical experience to shape a plan with each person. That plan is adjusted as progress is made or life changes.
Sessions may include coping skills, communication practice, and problem-solving for work or family stressors. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and steady support while they work through anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, or recovery from substance-related problems. She encourages small, achievable steps and offers ongoing feedback to help people move toward their goals.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change thinking patterns and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses. Another approach combines solution-focused methods that set clear, short-term goals and use small experiments to build confidence and momentum.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline listens to each person's goals, discusses options, and tailors strategies to current needs. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress is made or new challenges arise.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and situations. Video calls work well for full sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can fit quick check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging is useful for brief updates, on-the-go support, or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while still working on anxiety, stress, grief, or relationship concerns.
