Carline Jacques, LMHC

Carline Jacques is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and bipolar-related concerns. Carline aims to make sessions practical and straightforward so parents and busy adults can follow along and get support.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and build coping skills. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Carline helps clients work through issues like attachment difficulties, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Her practice also addresses more complex or overlapping concerns. These include chronic pain, substance use and addiction issues, eating and body image struggles, hoarding, impulsivity, and coping after disasters. She focuses on creating concrete steps people can take between sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Carline brings cultural sensitivity to her work and attends to how background and identity shape emotional challenges. She often supports people who want clearer boundaries, stronger self-compassion, and a renewed sense of purpose. Her style is warm, direct, and goal-oriented.

Appointments are offered through several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. Carline works in English and practices as an NY LMHC in New York.

How CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Carline draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is practical and often includes exercises to try between sessions, which works well over video or messaging. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can name what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit the persons needs, and adjust the plan together over time. Clients are invited to give feedback about what helps and what doesnt so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins or steady work between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family routines while keeping momentum between sessions.
