About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Porras is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Jacqueline works in English and Spanish.
She focuses on clear, practical conversations that address everyday problems. Sessions look at specific stressors, panic or social anxiety, and steps a person can try between meetings. Jacqueline listens for what is getting in the way and suggests straightforward tools people can use right away.
Her approach is collaborative. She and the client set goals and try small changes to see what works. If something needs adjusting, she changes the plan rather than sticking to one method.
Jacqueline also addresses related concerns such as loneliness, communication problems, guilt and shame, emptiness, and life purpose. She brings attention to how current patterns began and how to break repeating cycles that worsen mood or anxiety.
People can expect direct feedback and practical coping strategies, for example ways to manage panic attacks, navigate pregnancy or postpartum changes, and handle relationship stress. The focus is on steps a person can use between sessions to reduce the impact of symptoms and to support clearer decision making.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and changes people can try. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - practicing small actions that reduce avoidance and help build confidence in social situations and daily routines. This method is useful for panic, social anxiety, and mood-related avoidance.Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods that help people notice how past events affect current feelings and reactions. This involves gradual, manageable steps to reduce distress and improve coping with triggers such as overwhelming memories or flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to start with and adjust them over time based on what feels most helpful.
