Everything Jacqualine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that fit real life and online care

Jacqualine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One common approach she uses teaches coping skills for stress and anxiety, like breathing techniques, planning small behavioral steps, and practicing ways to face difficult thoughts. These tools help people manage day-to-day symptoms and build confidence.

Another focus is working on habits and supports for addiction and substance use. This approach centers on identifying triggers, developing alternative behaviors, and building routines that reduce cravings and support recovery. It also includes planning for setbacks and strengthening social supports.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative so techniques match what feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging suit quick updates or people who prefer typing. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
