How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s needs and goals. It involves active listening, reflection, and letting the client set the pace. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to clarify values and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers strategies for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with each person to identify what feels most useful, and she adjusts methods based on needs and goals. That means trying things out and shifting course if something isn’t helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make participation possible when mobility or caregiving limits travel. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to practical needs while helping people make steady progress.
