Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau

Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Wisconsin with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Her work also covers relationship concerns, career challenges, addiction recovery, and grief in everyday language that feels clear and direct.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients find calmer responses and clearer direction. Sessions center on understanding what matters to the person and building skills that can be used right away. Jacqueline helps people practice better communication, set boundaries, and rebuild self-esteem after hard times.

Her background includes long-term work supporting people through chronic health problems, caregiving strain, and blended family changes. She also helps those coping with substance use issues, forgiveness and guilt, and compassion fatigue from demanding roles. Jacqueline blends clinical approaches to match each person’s goals rather than relying on a single technique.

In the room she aims for a straightforward, respectful tone. She listens first, then suggests steps people can try between sessions. This can include short exercises, new thinking habits, or small behavior changes that add up over time.

Jacqueline believes people have strengths to build on. The therapy process is collaborative, focused on practical changes and clearer choices. Those who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the Start Therapy button.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to identify what matters most and where to begin. This approach helps people feel heard and choose goals that fit their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness therapy adds simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, and she adjusts the plan as goals and needs change. The process is interactive and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and let people practice skills between sessions in real life. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when that better suits someone’s day. Discuss preferred logistics during the initial matching and scheduling steps to pick what will work best.
