About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, anger, and a range of other concerns including guilt and shame. Jacqueline speaks English and practices from a perspective that centres the client's own knowledge of their life.
She uses a mix of approaches to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. That can look like using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to name unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, or attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. Sessions often focus on practical steps as well as understanding where difficult feelings came from.
Jacqueline describes therapy as a collaborative process. She aims to help people recognize unconscious beliefs and how those beliefs shape behavior. Work can focus on a single issue or dig deeper into patterns that repeat across relationships and roles.
People commonly bring concerns such as body image, parenting stress, career questions, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties. Jacqueline also supports those coping with isolation, life purpose questions, obsessive thoughts, panic, and issues linked to multicultural identity.
Her stated style is client-centered and grounded in humanistic ideas. Sessions are intended to be nonjudgmental and paced to the person's readiness. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options provided.
How Jacqueline blends evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can help when guilt or shame keeps someone avoiding steps they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and obsessive thinking.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, combining elements from different approaches as needed. The plan can shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let someone meet without commuting. Jacqueline will discuss how sessions can be arranged to best match practical needs and therapeutic aims.
