About Jacey
Jacey Liu is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with more than 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood disorders, addictions, and general life transitions. She also supports concerns such as parenting, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Her approach centers on treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person's situation.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to what a parent or caregiver can do between meetings. Jacey draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems like bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm risk. She also helps people navigate issues such as isolation, grief, immigration stress, and challenges tied to aging or intellectual disability.
The focus is on daily strategies that make small differences over time. She works with clients to clarify goals and build coping skills for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving. For parents, that can include ways to reduce overwhelm, manage anger, and balance caregiving with self-care.
Jacey emphasizes clear steps clients can try and adapt. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Jacey recognizes that first step takes courage. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can talk through problems and find practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jacey uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for emotion regulation and anger management. It teaches tools to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and try small behavioral changes that reduce conflict and stress. A second approach targets mood and anxiety symptoms by breaking problems into manageable steps. This method helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then test new ways of coping, which can ease symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, or panic over time. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jacey works collaboratively with each person to decide what to try first and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback. Clients and therapist set goals together and check in regularly to make sure the work fits daily life. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people engage in ways that match their schedule and comfort while keeping therapy practical and consistent.Questions people ask about Jacey
