About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Lizarazo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience working with adults in Illinois. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Jacqueline uses practical strategies and conversational, direct sessions to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her work centers on clear goals and steady progress. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change habits. She also draws on client-centered methods to emphasize the person’s own perspective and on mindfulness to build present-moment awareness.
Jacqueline says she will push clients when needed and gives homework to practice new skills between sessions. Sessions can include reviewing the week, developing coping tools, and talking about past events when that helps move things forward. She stresses straightforward feedback rather than vague reassurance.
Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, codependency, communication and control problems, body image, chronic illness and pain, substance use concerns, and relationship breakups. Jacqueline also notes work around guilt, forgiveness, and end-of-life topics.
She offers a practical approach for people who want structure and clear steps. Her style blends behavior-focused techniques with skills for managing emotions. Prospective clients who prefer concrete tasks and measurable progress will find her approach oriented toward action and practice.
How Jacqueline applies CBT, DBT, and client-centered work online
Jacqueline integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and experiment with new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are needed. DBT offers practical tools such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Client-centered therapy guides the conversation around the client’s own perspective and priorities, ensuring sessions stay relevant to what the person wants to address. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try based on goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts methods if something is not helping, so the plan can change over time.
