She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and problems with self-esteem and career.

Jacqueline uses clear, goal-focused methods to address the challenges people bring. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test new ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing changes, and Narrative Therapy can help reorganize how someone sees their experiences.
Her background includes work with older adults and hospice and end-of-life counseling, and she has experience with workplace issues. She also has focused experience around eating and food-related concerns, body image, social anxiety, forgiveness, and self-love. Jacqueline combines practical strategies with conversational coaching to move toward specific next steps.
Sessions emphasize short-term, actionable work such as setting small behavioral experiments, practicing coping skills, and clarifying values that shape decisions. She keeps interventions concrete so clients can try new responses between meetings and report back what changed.

How Jacqueline uses structured approaches online
Jacqueline commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments to test different responses to stress and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and supports building motivation for new habits.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences, try an approach for several sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. That means methods can shift as goals become clearer or new challenges appear.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between meetings. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule meetings around work, or avoid travel time. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so the logistics match what will work in everyday life.
