Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau, LMFT

Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Wisconsin with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Jacqueline helps clients who feel overwhelmed by parenting, grief, career pressure, or the long-term effects of caregiving and chronic illness.

She uses straightforward therapy methods to help people notice patterns that cause suffering. Sessions often focus on communication skills, managing strong emotions like anger, and coping strategies for depression and low self-esteem. The work can include setting clearer boundaries and untangling codependent patterns that leave someone putting others first.

Jacqueline draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy when they fit a person's needs. These methods are used to challenge unhelpful thoughts, build practical skills, and reframe personal stories that keep people stuck.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. Conversations move from identifying immediate relief techniques to building longer-term habits that support everyday functioning. People often leave with specific tools to try between meetings and a clearer sense of what to tackle next.

Her background includes long-term work with addiction recovery, family stress, blended family issues, and caregiver strain. She supports people facing fertility problems, divorce and separation, and the emotional impact of aging and chronic health concerns.
