Jacqueline Lizarazo, LCSW

Jacqueline Lizarazo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of clinical experience based in Illinois. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Jacqueline centers sessions on clients' stories and strengths while offering direct feedback and practical steps to address difficult patterns.

Her style is straightforward and active. She may ask hard questions and assign homework to promote change. Jacqueline expects clients to reflect on past experiences and how those shape current choices. She also keeps room for check-ins about the week and ongoing concerns.

Jacqueline uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. She leans on concrete skills and reflective conversation to help people recognize unhelpful habits and practice alternatives. Sessions can include skills practice, written reflections, and focused discussion on specific problems.

Her additional focus areas include interpersonal control and communication problems, commitment and dependency patterns, codependency, addiction concerns, body image, chronic illness and pain, and grief connected to end-of-life situations. She also works with issues around abandonment, adoption and foster care, and related relational wounds.

Jacqueline communicates in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
