More about Jacqueline

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist licensed in North Carolina with 30 years of experience working with adults, couples and families in a variety of settings.

I have worked with people with a wide range of concerns including various types of trauma such as emotional, physical and sexual abuse, anger issues, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems and PTSD.

My counseling style is caring and challenging. I believe that caring about your fellow human beings is the only way to built relationships with the people you work with in counseling, and without being challenged I believe that we cannot make changes.

My approach combines the brief solution focused, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral and narrative models but I will tailor our work together to meet your specific needs.

It takes courage to reach out and to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to walk with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I'm struggling with relationships on all levels, so feeling good with a person is the highest praise I can give! Working with Jacqueline I feel comfortable and supported - it's a safe space where I learn, very much starting from example, that "being completely human" and "showing all of myself" are not contradictions, but rather what enables successful relationships.

The reason why I would recommend Jacquline to others is that she is not afraid to correct you when you are thinking wrongly. She doesn't support maladaptive thinking, but she also understands other peoples circumstances and is super empathetic. Furthermore, Jacquline not only talks to me, but she provides worksheets and modules of methods to help ease anxiety. She has specific instructions of what to do in specific circumstances, and how to practice overcoming anxiety. She's really down to earth and I recommend anyone to her.
