How Jacqueline Brings CBT and ACT Online

Jacqueline often blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and commit to values-based action. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and testing them against real evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values.

She approaches the choice of method as a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques together, and adjust the approach based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a way of working that fits the client’s life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video works well for longer sessions and skill practice, phone can fit into a short break during the day, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people review notes and homework on their own time. These options help clients keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving demands.
