About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Dougherty is a Florida LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her work includes people coping with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns.
Jacqueline focuses on how attachment and patterns in relationships affect daily life. She listens for recurring habits like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer so clients can decide what to change.
She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape present ones. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
In the room she keeps language straightforward and concrete. Conversations include goal setting, skill practice, and checking what is or isn’t working. Progress is tracked in small steps so people can see measurable change.
Jacqueline works with adults in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online conversations use that lens to identify repeating dynamics and how they show up in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back what the client says so people feel heard and can make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences together and try methods that match what the client wants to address. Sessions can shift focus over time as needs change, with regular check-ins to see what is helpful. Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone conversations to reduce camera time, while others use longer video sessions for deeper conversation. The therapist aims to match the practical format to each person’s needs and daily schedule.Areas of focus
