About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience helping people who feel stuck after major life changes. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, anger, ADHD, and life purpose concerns among other issues.
Jacqueline uses several practical therapy styles including cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work. She explains how past experiences still shape current behavior and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing new ways of responding.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape trust, intimacy, and communication now. Emotion-focused elements appear when feelings need naming and shaping into clearer steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques are used to increase willingness to experience difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful actions.
Jacqueline aims to work at a pace each person can tolerate. She encourages people to name what matters to them and to try small experiments that build toward change. Conversations range from dealing with immediate blocks to exploring longer standing patterns.
People who reach out are invited to treat therapy as a practical process. Jacqueline helps uncover the beliefs that limit options and supports planning concrete steps. She frames distress as information that points to next priorities rather than a permanent state.
How Jacqueline’s approaches guide online work
Jacqueline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on recognizing and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it can help when anxiety or avoidance keeps people from moving forward. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical experiments and skill-building to reduce unhelpful patterns. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current trust and intimacy. That approach helps when communication problems or recurrent relationship conflicts are part of what feels stuck. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on current goals and what feels most useful in sessions. Confirm the session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific online options. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can be easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and meet between other obligations. Some formats make it simpler to handle low-bandwidth connections or to choose audio-only check-ins when a video call would be difficult. Jacqueline will discuss what session rhythm and format best match each person’s needs and daily schedule.Areas of expertise
