About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Forde is an LPC based in Texas who blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with humanistic and attachment-informed perspectives to help people move past obstacles. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that begins with listening to each person's story and identifying practical steps toward change.

Background and approach

Jacqueline emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own lives and works to create a no-pressure environment where exploration and growth can happen. Her approach draws on acceptance-based work and emotionally focused techniques alongside CBT to examine how past experiences shape present patterns.

Jacqueline helps clients increase awareness of unconscious beliefs, clarify values, and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and other concerns. She tailors the pace and focus of therapy to match each person’s goals, whether addressing a specific problem or exploring deeper life meaning.

With eight years of clinical experience, Jacqueline brings a holistic stance to issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and body-image struggles, parenting and career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice centers on helping clients identify what they need to make change and supporting them as they develop greater self-compassion and agency.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches into online care

Jacqueline commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, panic, obsessions, and depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and learning to accept difficult experiences while taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with issues such as grief, shame, and life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jacqueline collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. She will discuss goals, try strategies in session, and adjust interventions as therapy progresses so the treatment plan stays aligned with each person’s priorities.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or work and to practice skills between appointments while receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
