About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Thomas is an LPC based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles, addictions, grief, bipolar symptoms, and family-related concerns. She brings an empathic, client-centered attitude to sessions and emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional processing.

Background and approach

Jacqueline draws from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor support to each person's needs.

Her practice also addresses specific challenges like blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation, jealousy, life-purpose questions, financial stress, and other mood-related difficulties.

With eight years of clinical experience, Jacqueline combines evidence-informed techniques with a focus on collaboration so clients can develop coping strategies, clarify goals, and strengthen resilience. She offers sessions in multiple remote formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Remote Care

Jacqueline often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical for concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by teaching concrete skills and homework-based practice. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which encourages clients to clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life, a useful fit for grief, life-purpose questions, and persistent emotional pain. Client-Centered Therapy features throughout her work, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with each person to explore what methods feel most useful, adjust interventions over time, and combine techniques as needed to match goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor the work to individual circumstances and supports gradual skill-building.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from various locations, accommodate caregiving or work commitments, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
