About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Galbreath Rabouin is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Jacquelyn’s practice also addresses codependency and related concerns such as attachment issues, isolation, and communication problems.
She begins by listening and helping people name the patterns that are wearing them down. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels. Conversations cover what feels overwhelming now, what has mattered in the past, and small changes that can reduce repeated hurt.
Jacquelyn uses a mix of approaches in-session. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what each person brings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Emotionally-focused ideas help with painful relationship patterns and attachment worries.
For trauma or persistent distress she may incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, alongside mindfulness tools to calm the body and attention. These methods are presented in straightforward terms so clients can choose what feels manageable.
Throughout her work she emphasizes clear communication and practical coping skills. People often come to address people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling lost in caregiving roles. The first sessions typically focus on immediate relief and a plan for what to work on next.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s concerns and pace, helping identify patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty saying no.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. In an online format CBT sessions can include short homework, thought records, and behavioral experiments that fit into daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to attachment and relationship patterns and can be used in single-person work to clarify emotional responses and set goals for clearer interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods might help based on the client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try approaches like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings to build skills into everyday routines.
