About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Adams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She brings six years of clinical experience and offers straightforward, compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also works with concerns around relationships, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and addictions.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered using formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jacqueline focuses on practical steps that fit real life.

Background and approach

She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and repair important relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy also inform her work when the goals include values-driven change or building safer emotional bonds. In sessions she listens carefully and tailors the plan to each person’s situation.

That might mean working on communication patterns, coping skills for anxiety, or tools for parenting under stress. She also addresses specific concerns such as body image, eating-related issues, blended family adjustments, and codependency. Her style aims to be direct but kind.

She helps clients identify clear steps to try between meetings and checks in on what is or isn’t working. Jacqueline recognizes that asking for help takes courage and she offers steady support through the process. People who choose her can expect therapy that blends practical skill-building with attention to relationships and past wounds.

The focus is on usable change day to day while also honoring clients’ values and hopes.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants more purpose alongside symptom relief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, body image concerns, and eating-related issues.

Jacqueline treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and try approaches that fit those needs. Over early sessions she checks in and adjusts the plan so the methods feel useful and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to talk in shorter moments. These formats increase flexibility for busy schedules and can make steady progress more achievable.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
