About Jaclene

Jaclene Newell is a licensed professional counselor who uses a compassionate, relational approach to support people through hard moments. She blends practical therapy methods with a calm, steady presence. Sessions emphasize safety, clear goals, and steps that fit each person's life.

Jaclene keeps language simple and the pace gentle so clients can speak without pressure. She listens for patterns in relationships, mood, and daily life that cause stress or block coping.

Background and approach

From there she helps people try small, manageable changes that can ease anxiety, grief, or emotional overwhelm. Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Those approaches are used to address things like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

Jaclene has nine years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential, Wisconsin LPC 8631-125. Her practice is based in Wisconsin and sessions are offered in English. She also accepts international clients and uses a flexible subscription model for scheduling.

In a first conversation she focuses on what matters to the client and sets compassionate, realistic goals together. Follow-up sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and building routines that reduce stress and improve relationships.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. This approach supports improving communication, closeness, and trust in partnerships or other important relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions let people access these approaches from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, try different formats for skill practice, and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
