About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges. She brings 14 years of experience to everyday problems like relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. People also seek her help for addictions, ADHD, grief, and issues related to foster care or adoption.
Her approach is flexible and practical. She adjusts between a more guided style and a gentler, client-led pace depending on what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding difficult feelings, naming patterns, and building small, useful skills to manage day-to-day life. Jacquetta uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means she listens closely, helps people test out new ways of thinking, practices emotion regulation, and supports motivation for change.
The work is collaborative and goal-oriented. She has experience helping people who struggle with family of origin issues, blended family concerns, fatherhood questions, chronic illness, and communication problems. Jacquetta emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside attention to past wounds that still affect daily life.
Clients can expect a compassionate, steady presence that encourages vulnerability and agency. The aim is to reduce overwhelm, improve relationships, and build reliable habits that support long-term well-being.

How Jacquetta’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the individual leads the pace and goals. This helps with parenting stress, low self-esteem, and processing difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try strategies that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative, and methods can be adjusted as progress unfolds so the client stays in control of what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break more easily. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking homework, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy parents or people with limited time.
