Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Jacqueline uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's goals and pace. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around what the person wants to change. It helps when someone feels stuck or needs a trusting space to sort things out.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and skill-based, which can make it easier to track progress between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used for relationship work and helps people name and shift the patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jacqueline will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adapt methods over time. She aims to work with each person to find a mix of strategies that fit their situation and pace.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy day. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or steady weekly sessions when deeper work is underway.
