How Jacqueline Uses Practical Therapies Online

Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help when avoidance or worry gets in the way of living a meaningful life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline listens to each person's goals and preferences and then recommends techniques to try. She treats the process as collaborative, adjusting methods based on what helps most over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a more traditional session feel and richer visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework planning, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
