Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jacqueline draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clients in online settings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and it focuses on clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - this approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional connection formed in close relationships, helping clients address intimacy, trust, and family or caregiver issues by building more secure ways of connecting.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the work fits the individual, couple, or family.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care without geographic constraints. These formats offer scheduling flexibility, allow therapy to fit into busy lives, and make it practical to maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each client's needs.
