Sessions focus on discussing what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
In the room she listens and reflects to help people find clearer ways to cope. Conversations may look at how personal stories shape current feelings and behaviors. Practical steps and short-term goals are also used when someone wants focused change or relief.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jacqueline commonly uses client-centered and solution-focused approaches in her practice. Client-centered work centers on listening carefully and reflecting what a person says, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. Solution-focused steps focus on small, concrete changes and short-term goals that can be tracked between sessions.She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at how life stories and recurring patterns affect current reactions. Narrative work helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, while psychodynamic conversation can surface long-standing patterns that influence relationships and anxiety. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; she will work with a client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.
