Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online sessions

Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward meaningful change. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward actions that align with what matters most, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with quality of life.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. CBT is often applied to depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship difficulties arise.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these therapies to create a personalized plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain consistency during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
