About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Kipfer is an LCSW, licensed in Illinois, with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Jacqueline also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, smoking or vaping cessation, and workplace issues.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and works with clients to identify what matters most to them. Sessions often focus on habits, values, and skills that can be used day to day. Jacqueline aims to make the work feel doable rather than overwhelming.
She uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral tools. That means helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them with small experiments, and clarify what they want to stand for. Conversations tend to move between understanding feelings and trying small behavior changes that fit into real life.
Jacqueline has spent many years helping people regain a sense of direction after changes in work, relationships, or health. She supports clients who want to tackle specific problems like quitting smoking, managing grief, or reducing anxiety at work. People who are unsure about their next steps around life purpose may find the sessions focused on values and actions especially useful.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.
How Jacqueline Uses ACT and CBT Remotely
Jacqueline draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values so actions match what matters. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts, and on practicing small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or improve habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline treats this as a collaborative process. Together they review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what actually helps the person feel more capable in daily life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit check-ins into a busy day, allow shorter focused meetings when attention or bandwidth is limited, and remove travel time that otherwise interrupts work or caregiving routines. Jacqueline will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit with a client's schedule and goals.
