About Jaclyn
Jaclyn Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of clinical experience in New Jersey. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, and depression. Jaclyn emphasizes practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.
Her approach starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. She focuses on patterns that leave someone repeatedly putting others first, struggling with boundaries, or getting stuck around another person’s moods or substance use. Sessions tend to be direct and grounded in everyday life rather than abstract theory.
She often helps people who are wrestling with body image, guilt and shame, isolation, or impulsivity. Jaclyn also works with concerns related to attachment, communication problems, and family stress. Her experience includes supporting people affected by domestic violence and drug or alcohol addiction.
In the room she encourages clear skills for managing anxiety, handling cravings, and making small changes to eating routines or self-talk. She will talk through how patterns started and what keeps them going, then try practical alternatives that fit a person’s life.
Jaclyn uses an evidence-based approach to choose methods that fit each person’s needs. She speaks English and practices in New Jersey. The first session focuses on priorities and on planning the next steps together.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Jaclyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, realistic ways of thinking. That can reduce anxiety and lower shame related to body image or eating habits.Another approach involves learning concrete coping skills for cravings, impulsivity, and emotional overwhelm. These techniques break large problems into small steps and teach ways to manage urges or intense emotions in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaclyn collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.

Licensed professionals can use video or phone to focus on skills practice, tracking progress, and troubleshooting real-life situations without promising a particular format.
