About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and DBT-informed techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits. Sessions are practical and skills-focused, with attention to communication, self-esteem, and managing intense emotions.
Jacquelyn also addresses issues related to aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and first responder concerns. She helps people who struggle with isolation, shame, guilt, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. She supports people working on life purpose and rebuilding after loss.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone is ready to make changes around substance use or other behaviors. She aims to help people find clearer reasons to change and small steps they can try between sessions.
Her work tends to be direct and structured. Conversations often include identifying specific thoughts, testing them in real life, and practicing new ways of responding. This practical focus is intended to make daily life more manageable and to build skills that can be used outside sessions.
How Jacquelyn applies CBT and skills work online
Jacquelyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that increase distress and to practice alternative responses. CBT emphasizes clear steps - identifying thoughts, testing them, and practicing small behavioral experiments to see what changes.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to support open, person-directed conversation where the client's concerns guide the pace and topics. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills for high-intensity feelings and relationship strain.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then decide together which methods to emphasize. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
