About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Edwards is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods to help people address stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With seven years of clinical experience in Connecticut, she centers each session on the client’s lived experience and existing strengths while helping clients develop practical skills for coping and change. She combines structured interventions with a collaborative, client-centered stance that honors personal values and goals.

Jacqueline commonly integrates acceptance and commitment strategies and emotion-focused work to address patterns such as codependency, communication difficulties, and attachment concerns, and she has supported clients facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, dissociation, eating issues, and substance-related difficulties. Her approach emphasizes building motivation, increasing self-understanding, and cultivating day-to-day tools for improved functioning and wellbeing.

Clients who work with Jacqueline can expect a supportive environment where their perspective guides treatment planning, and where practical techniques are blended with exploration of meaning, forgiveness, and connection to purpose.

Combining practical therapies with online flexibility

Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and reduce symptoms, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful life changes, which often helps with motivation, chronic struggles, and coping with persistent pain or illness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline partners with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. This shared decision-making helps tailor treatment to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize accessibility and convenience. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed. The variety of options supports ongoing skill practice and flexible engagement in therapy.
