About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as parenting, addiction, grief, eating issues, and depression.

Jacqueline helps people who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or losing themselves in relationships. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family tensions, and challenges around communication and commitment. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. Jacqueline mixes strategies from these models to match what each person needs in the moment rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions typically look at patterns that keep someone overwhelmed or overly responsible for others, and then test small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. She pays attention to how past relationships shape present reactions and helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of clearer choices.

Jacqueline asks clients to set goals and tries practical exercises in-session that can be practiced afterward. She invites honest feedback about what helps, so the plan can be adjusted. Sessions are conducted in English and Jacqueline does not accept international clients.

How sessions work

How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and patterns of people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current responses and can help with abandonment, attachment issues, and codependency patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline discusses different methods with each person and decides together which strategies to try based on needs, goals, and how someone responds. She adjusts tools over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

The therapist’s specific online session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. It can also let someone use exercises between meetings and bring examples from everyday life for discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based exercises to virtual meetings so practical steps and homework are still part of the process.
