About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Witsberger is an Ohio-licensed LPCC with 34 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with major life changes. Parents seeking practical support around parenting and related concerns will find this work relevant.
Jacqueline also supports people facing mood disorders, addiction, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small, achievable steps.
Jacqueline uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. Jacqueline aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where someone can speak honestly. She helps clients set realistic goals and tries to make sessions feel useful from the start.
Many conversations include problem-solving, skill practice, and looking at patterns that keep problems going. With decades of experience, she brings a steady, experienced presence to sessions. That background informs how she tailors strategies to each person.
The work is collaborative - clients and Jacqueline pick methods that match the person's needs and pace. People who choose her often want hands-on tools for managing emotions, improving relationships, and handling life transitions. Jacqueline combines practical exercises with discussion about underlying causes so progress can be both immediate and lasting.

How Jacqueline’s approaches work online
Jacqueline uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people change how they think and cope. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. DBT adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with strong mood swings or high stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. She may combine techniques and adjust the pace based on what is most useful for the client in ongoing sessions.
Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when video is impractical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, and other obligations, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
