Jacqueline Oshiver, LMFT, LCSW

Jacqueline Oshiver is a licensed psychotherapist who draws on 40 years of clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and trauma. She holds both LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials and practices in New Jersey. Jacqueline aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can feel heard and begin to untangle what matters most to them.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are also part of her approach when addressing relationship patterns and emotional numbing. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is ready to change habits related to substance use or other behaviors.

Jacqueline emphasizes collaboration. She talks with people about goals and then selects straightforward tools that fit their lives. Sessions may include thought records, short mindfulness exercises, communication practice, or steps to reduce overwhelm and build routine.

Her work covers many concerns beyond the headline issues, including attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family and communication problems, parenting and intimacy-related struggles, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with major life changes, divorce, loss, and career transitions.

Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jacqueline uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location and therapist availability.

Using CBT, Client-Centered Work, and EFT Online

Jacqueline blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address both thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening approach where the person sets the pace and direction of work to build trust and self-understanding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and shift repetitive relationship patterns so they can connect more effectively with partners or important others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and needs, and then outline which approaches might fit best. That collaboration makes it easier to try tools in everyday life and adjust methods over time based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face work like communication practice, phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
