About Jacqueline

Jacqueline German is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Jacqueline also has experience supporting people navigating issues around attachment, abandonment, and codependency.

She has worked with LGBTQIA+ clients and attends to differences in background and identity when planning sessions. Jacqueline adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit what each person brings to therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep them stuck.

In the room she prioritizes direct discussion about boundaries, communication, and how earlier relationships shape current behavior. She helps people notice how people-pleasing, fear of rejection, or the urge to control situations come up in daily life. Work may include tracking triggers, practicing new ways to say no, and building clearer expectations in relationships.

Jacqueline aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She supports clients who want to strengthen their sense of self and make different choices in close relationships. She asks questions, offers feedback, and suggests exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.

How sessions work

Approaches Jacqueline Uses and How They Work Online

Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and action oriented. One approach focuses on identifying patterns in relationships and daily life, helping people notice triggers and repetitive responses. This helps with issues like people-pleasing, boundary difficulty, and codependency tendencies. Another approach emphasizes skills practice - rehearsing conversations, assertive statements, and small experiments between sessions to test new behaviors and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. She encourages open feedback so the plan can be adjusted as progress and needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, sessions without travel, or meetings that work around work hours are common practical benefits. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to keep momentum between in-person meetings and to make it simpler to practice communication skills in real time.
