Jacqueline Forde, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses a practical, person-centered approach. She emphasizes an accepting presence and gentle guidance to help people move through difficult moments. Jacqueline stresses that clients know their lives best and works alongside them without pressure or judgment.

The first meetings focus on what the client wants to change and what matters most to them. Jacqueline blends several approaches to tailor care.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps when strong feelings get in the way of connection or decision making.

Her style aims to make therapy feel simple and doable. Sessions include noticing patterns, naming beliefs that get in the way, and trying small changes between meetings. Jacqueline also brings attention to whole-life factors like stress, parenting, career, and grief when they affect day-to-day functioning.

After eight years of practice, she focuses on concrete problems as well as deeper personal work. Topics she addresses include anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and issues around identity and intimacy. Jacqueline supports work on body image, communication problems, and life purpose among other concerns.

People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer personal exploration. She helps clients identify what they need to move forward and creates a collaborative plan to get there.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, explained in plain terms. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people change how they connect and respond to others.

She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that seem most helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as therapy progresses and ensures the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats add flexibility for parents and busy people who need sessions outside traditional office hours. Clients can pick the mode that suits their schedule and comfort level, and switch between formats when life changes. Online work supports the same practical exercises and emotional work used in person, while making it easier to keep therapy consistent.

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.
