About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy. She approaches sessions with calm and consistency.
Background and approach
People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. She believes clients are the experts in their own lives.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's needs. Jacqueline offers a no-pressure environment where people can speak honestly and work toward change without judgment.
Her style blends several approaches to meet real problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centered and existential perspectives to honor each person's values and life goals.
Jacqueline uses therapy to connect everyday experience with practical steps. She helps people notice repeating patterns, name the beliefs behind them, and try new behaviors.
That can mean learning communication skills, managing intense emotions, or developing routines that reduce anxiety and cravings. With eight years of clinical experience in Texas, Jacqueline tailors the plan to what the person wants to change.
She pays attention to cultural background, life purpose, and concerns like body image, parenting stress, or work burnout. Her work aims to turn painful history into a source of growth.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jacqueline commonly uses the Gottman Method ideas to focus on communication and connection, helping people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take action toward a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and helps clients build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where the person and therapist test what helps and adjust as they go.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules.
