About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, addiction, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen and follow what matters to each person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are introduced when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
Jacquetta aims to balance direction and collaboration. Some people want clear steps and homework. Others prefer a gentler pace. She adjusts how much structure she brings so people get the level of guidance they want.
In sessions she helps people map patterns, test small changes, and practice new skills between meetings. She also uses motivational interviewing when someone is weighing changes or feeling stuck. Her work often focuses on improving communication, addressing family-of-origin issues, and managing life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jacquetta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include practical steps and brief exercises to try between meetings, which can fit well with remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy is a listening-focused approach where the therapist follows what matters to the person and supports them at their pace. This is useful for exploring feelings and making sense of relationship or family issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, with short skill practices that clients can apply in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Then she and the client agree on a plan and adjust it over time based on what is most helpful.
