About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addiction, trauma, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

With 20 years of professional experience, she draws on a combination of solution-focused methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify practical steps and shift unhelpful patterns. Jacqueline also brings experience addressing a wide range of related concerns including sleep and eating issues, parenting and anger, self-esteem and bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her background includes leadership roles in social work, but she found the most satisfaction in direct clinical contact and individualized counseling. Jacqueline emphasizes building a trusting rapport and listening closely so she can meet each person where they are.

Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that blends client-centered listening with structured strategies such as CBT and elements of mindfulness and DBT when appropriate. She works with people facing additional challenges like chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care matters, codependency, divorce and separation, and other relational and life transition issues.

Practical approaches for online therapy and real life change

Jacqueline often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping, a practical approach that can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a respectful, validating space where a person’s perspective is heard and explored. In some cases elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. She aims to learn about each person’s goals and preferences and then tailors methods accordingly, combining structured techniques with compassionate listening so the plan fits the client’s needs rather than forcing a single method.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change. These formats support flexible scheduling and ongoing access to therapeutic tools and support between sessions, helping clients apply strategies in real-world situations.
