About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Oshiver is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of clinical experience based in New Jersey. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, grief, depression, addiction, and trauma. Her practice also addresses issues like self-esteem, parenting strain, intimacy-related problems, and the practical effects of life changes.
Jacqueline uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals central. She combines that perspective with cognitive-behavioral techniques to address worrying thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on relationship and attachment concerns, and mindfulness practices are used to help people notice and calm intense reactions.
In sessions she also draws on motivational interviewing to address addiction and readiness for change. Her experience includes work with family dynamics, blended households, caregiver stress, and communication or control issues that complicate daily life. She can help people coping with abandonment, aging concerns, and family-of-origin problems.
Across decades of practice and time teaching at the university level, Jacqueline brings practical methods to usual life problems. Expect straightforward conversations about goals, options, and what might help between sessions. She often uses imagery and mind-body techniques to reduce tension and support new ways of responding.
Jacqueline works in English and treats issues related to bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career strain as part of her broader practice. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How Jacqueline’s approaches work in online sessions
Jacqueline commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experience, encouraging honest reflection and collaborative decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches clear techniques to test and change them, which can reduce anxious reactions and improve daily functioning.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship and attachment concerns. This approach helps people identify patterns that keep interactions stuck and practice new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and increase closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. That shared planning lets the work adjust as needs change over time.
