About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau uses a collaborative, evidence-informed approach to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, and life transitions. As a Wisconsin-licensed LMFT with 16 years of practice, she blends practical strategies with a compassionate, person-focused stance that aims to strengthen coping skills, communication, and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her work often attends to interconnected concerns such as relationship challenges, career stress, grief, and caregiving burdens. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques to support recovery from substance issues, manage chronic health or pain-related stress, and address emotional struggles like depression and anger.
Jacqueline also integrates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools when appropriate to foster insight, build motivation for change, and reframe personal stories. Her style emphasizes respect, collaboration, and helping clients identify and use their own resilience.
Clients can expect a pragmatic yet empathetic process that focuses on goals and usable skills. Jacqueline helps people explore values and priorities while working through problems such as blended family dynamics, fertility and parenting concerns, communication or control issues, and compassion fatigue.
She practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English.
Integrating evidence-based methods into online care
Jacqueline frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work, providing empathic listening and a supportive space that helps clients explore values and build self-compassion. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can be useful for chronic pain, caregiving burnout, and emotional regulation.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process; she works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance means plans can adjust over time, blending techniques from CBT, client-centered work, or mindfulness based on what is most helpful for progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and continue work on coping skills and goals from different locations.
