Jacqueline Arcand , LCSW

Jacqueline Arcand is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of professional experience working with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges. She holds the LCSW credential - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and is licensed in both Arizona (AZ LCSW LCSW-18361) and Alaska (AK LCSW 161210).

Throughout her career she has guided people who are coping with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, codependency, and attachment-related struggles. Jacqueline approaches therapy believing that each person is the expert of their own story and that building on existing strengths supports meaningful change in motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice includes work with relationship concerns, grief, family issues, eating and intimacy-related difficulties, bipolar disorder, and adjustment to life changes, among other focus areas.

Jacqueline frames the counseling relationship as a respectful space to explore questions like - what is happening, how it developed, and what steps might help move forward. She draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, and she offers supportive guidance for those taking the courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Benefits

Jacqueline integrates attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive behavioral strategies to support people in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior and helps people build more secure connections and repair attachment fractures. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the forefront - the therapist listens with empathy and supports self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for rebuilding confidence and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works together with each person to identify goals, assess needs, and adapt methods so the work aligns with the client’s preferences and life context. She tailors interventions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geographic constraints. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into daily life and to maintain continuity across transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support that fits a client’s schedule and communication style.
