About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn "Jackie" Taylor-Mays is a Tennessee LCSW with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and motivation concerns. Jackie also addresses trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and other life changes.
Jackie views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to how feelings, thoughts, and relationships affect daily life.
Her approach draws on methods that look at attachment and relationships, cognitive patterns, and emotions in close bonds. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, improve communication, and repair connections when needed. The work can include skills practice, guided reflection, and planning for concrete changes.
Jackie has experience supporting people with addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and chronic health concerns alongside life stressors. She also helps with caregiver stress, codependency, and blended family challenges. Her background supports addressing both immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, achievable steps. People are encouraged to name what they want to change and then try workable strategies. To begin, readers should use the site flow to match and schedule an initial session.
Approaches for online sessions and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting that reduce distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try behavior changes that can lower anxiety and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs, adjusting plans as progress is assessed. This collaborative process helps identify whether attachment-focused work, CBT, or emotion-focused techniques feel most useful.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings are run. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose options that suit energy levels - for example a session without video when that makes it easier to focus. Be sure to check current session options before scheduling.
