About Jacquetta

Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who draws on 14 years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with clients to address issues such as anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, parenting and fatherhood questions, grief, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, as well as a range of family-of-origin and blended family dynamics.

Jacquetta also brings familiarity with adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and disability, and substance-related struggles. Her approach is adaptable and collaborative, meeting each person where they are while balancing gentle support with clear direction when needed.

She favors evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help clients develop practical skills, process difficult feelings, and work toward goals. Jacquetta emphasizes vulnerability, trust-building, and empowering clients to take an active role in their healing and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jacquetta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support that prioritizes the client's experience and helps build self-awareness and confidence. When emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties arise, she incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical strategies for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, consider how different methods fit their needs and preferences, and adjust techniques over time so treatment stays relevant and effective for where the client is in their life.

Online therapy with Jacquetta is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue care through life changes, with options that accommodate varying routines and comfort levels.
