About Jacqueline Tasca
Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who approaches clinical work with an emphasis on listening, practical strategies, and genuine human connection. She earned her master of social work from Adelphi University and spent years in social work leadership before choosing to return to more direct therapeutic work because she found greater fulfillment in face-to-face counseling.
Across her career she has supported people through anxiety, depression, bereavement, parenting and couples concerns, adapting her work to meet the shifting demands of life such as chronic illness, palliative care needs, and caregiver stress. Her background includes community resource and referral work and experience in stress management and coping with change, which inform a pragmatic and resource-oriented approach to care.
She is frequently told that she is a good listener, and that patient capacity to be heard is central to her practice. Building therapeutic rapport is always a first step, and she typically uses solution-focused methods alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify concrete steps forward. Her manner is described as caring and nonjudgmental, and she centers understanding and collaboration when working with individuals and families.
Throughout her long tenure in social work she has encountered a wide range of challenges and draws on that breadth of experience to tailor interventions to each person she meets. Her work emphasizes practical problem solving, emotional understanding, and support through life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jacqueline Tasca draws on approaches that prioritize practical change and empathic connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches skills to shift those patterns - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting clear goals and identifying small, achievable steps toward them, making it helpful for people seeking concrete progress during transitions or relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers on attentive, nonjudgmental listening and supports clients in exploring their feelings and values to find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or on the go, accommodate caregiving and work demands, and allow therapy to continue through life changes without sacrificing continuity of care.
