About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Arcand is an LCSW with ten years of professional experience and holds licensure in Arizona. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship struggles, codependency, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps to increase motivation, self-esteem, and confidence rather than abstract theory.
Jacqueline treats each person as the expert on their own story. She helps people name what feels wrong, look at how patterns developed, and decide what to try next. Work in sessions often includes noticing attachment patterns, thinking through unhelpful beliefs, and using memory-focused methods when trauma is present.
Her practice draws from attachment-based approaches, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and narrative ideas. That mix lets her shift between talking through present problems, working on thoughts and behaviors, and addressing painful memories when needed. She uses the methods that best fit the issue the person brings.
Jacqueline has experience supporting people with grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family-of-origin concerns, abandonment and adoption-related issues, and the effects of substance use in relationships. Her background includes work with trauma and domestic violence contexts.
People who prefer straightforward, action-focused conversations tend to benefit most. The therapist encourages clear goals, small experiments between sessions, and steady attention to patterns that keep problems repeating. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Jacqueline uses specific approaches in remote sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current behavior. It helps when people notice repeating hurts, trouble with trust, or a tendency to put others first. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own goals and values and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy addresses upsetting thoughts and behaviors by testing ideas and trying small experiments between sessions.Jacqueline treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss different methods and consider a person's goals, history, and comfort with various techniques. Together they plan what to try first and adjust the approach as needed based on how the work progresses.
The practical benefits of working remotely can include easier scheduling, shorter check-in options, and fitting sessions into a busy day. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The focus in online work is the same as in person: clear goals, actionable steps, and regular review of what is helping.
