About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 33 years of professional experience. She holds a master’s degree in clinical social work earned in 1985 and has worked continuously in practice since then. Jacqueline lists stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting, career issues, and life purpose among the areas she focuses on.

She uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify what matters to the person seeking help. Jacqueline helps people name the problems that are getting in the way and tests small changes to see what helps.

Her work includes attention to practical concerns like sleeping, compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. She also addresses issues like guilt and shame, isolation, communication difficulties, control struggles, and self-esteem. Jacqueline supports people weighing career decisions or looking for clearer direction after life changes.

In sessions she typically listens for recurring themes in a person’s story and then works with them to try different ways of responding. The tone is grounded and focused on concrete steps rather than abstract promises. People meet to talk through grief, plan for next steps, or practice new communication choices.

Jacqueline practices in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English. She does not accept international clients. The practice notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and prioritizing their goals. In practice this means sessions that reflect the client’s concerns back and build on what they already know about themselves. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and seeks alternative ways to describe difficult events or patterns, which can help with issues like grief, depression, or life-purpose questions. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to recurring feelings and relationship patterns that show up across time, which some people find useful when they want to understand why certain reactions keep repeating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their needs and goals. That might mean using narrative techniques for a career or life-purpose question, or solution-focused steps for a short-term concern, and adjusting the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person visits or to follow through on practical steps discussed in therapy.
