Background and approach
She listens first and pays attention to what shows up between sessions. Her style mixes client-centered conversation with evidence-based skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides tools for emotion regulation and coping when feelings run high. Mindfulness techniques help people slow down, notice what matters, and reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing supports people to clarify goals and find their own reasons to change.
Jacqueline also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences shape present reactions. Sessions may include talking, journaling prompts, creative exercises, or practical skill-building. Jacqueline works collaboratively to pick methods that suit each person and situation.
She believes small changes add up and that steady steps often lead to relief.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person. It focuses on understanding a person's perspective and building a trusting working relationship, which helps with motivation and long-term change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify thoughts that lead to distress and practice new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and for tackling problem routines in day-to-day life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. These skills can be helpful for impulse control, anger, and stress that feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. She combines listening with practical tools so the plan fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling-style exchanges, or when an ongoing written dialogue helps keep progress moving.
