About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Soriano is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. The biography also lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, addiction, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.

Jacqueline uses a collaborative approach. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to help people name what matters to them. Sessions involve noticing patterns, practicing present-moment skills, and setting short practical goals tied to values. This can help with everyday overwhelm and with problems rooted in past hurts.

Her work is trauma-informed and designed for short-term, goal-oriented therapy when that fits the person’s needs. Jacqueline helps people develop concrete coping tools and clearer ways of making decisions in stressful moments. She also supports those processing grief, loss, or caregiver strain.

She frames therapy as a practical process of identifying behaviors and making small experiments to test change. Conversations include breathing and mindfulness practices, values clarification, and brief solution-focused steps to use between sessions. Jacqueline aims to help clients notice where guilt and shame show up and to build manageable responses.

Jacqueline practices in New York and offers care in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Jacqueline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify personal values and take small, purposeful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is practical and focuses on what matters most to a person rather than trying to eliminate thoughts.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be brief and practiced between sessions to steady difficult moments, such as episodes of shame or intense self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide whether ACT, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused steps best suit current goals. That choice can shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these flexible options to keep momentum between sessions and to practice skills where they arise.
