Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and everyday coping strategies that fit into busy lives. She draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and increase emotional strength. The focus is on practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and processing painful experiences.
Jaquay explains options and helps clients choose what to try first. Her background includes 16 years of clinical experience in a range of settings. She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults and uses a holistic view to connect emotional, behavioral, and practical concerns.
The LPC credential means she completed graduate training and met the requirements for professional practice in South Carolina. In sessions Jaquay pays attention to patterns that cause guilt, shame, or self-doubt, and she supports people learning self-love and forgiveness. She offers talk-based work and skill-building so clients can take clearer steps in daily life.
The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.
Approaches that translate to online care
Jaquay uses practical, evidence-based techniques that adapt well to remote work. One common approach focuses on skill-building for anxiety and stress management. Sessions teach breathing and grounding techniques, problem-solving steps, and short behavioral experiments to try between meetings. These tools help reduce worry and make daily life feel more manageable.She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people process painful memories at a comfortable pace. This involves gentle pacing, naming reactions, and practicing new ways to respond to triggers so difficult experiences feel less overwhelming. Another frequent focus is improving communication - practicing clear language, setting boundaries, and rehearsing conversations to rebuild trust and connection.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit the person best. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins and short coaching possible between sessions. Together these options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
