About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Hendrickson is a licensed clinical social worker with over three decades of practice in New Jersey. She earned a master’s degree in clinical social work in 1985 and has continued working in the field since then.

Background and approach

She helps with stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports people facing life changes, sleep troubles, parenting worries, intimacy-related questions, and career challenges. Jacqueline often addresses issues like self-esteem, compassion fatigue, isolation, and postpartum depression.

Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric matters when relevant. Jacqueline uses several counseling approaches to fit each person’s situation. She applies client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities.

Narrative techniques help clients reframe stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns that cause pain or conflict. Solution-focused steps help set clear, short-term goals to make daily life more manageable.

Sessions emphasize practical next steps and steady progress. Her tone is warm and straightforward. Jacqueline aims to make first steps easier and to help people feel clearer about how to move forward.

She welcomes questions and works together with each person to find useful paths through difficult times.

Approaches for online family and life concerns

Jacqueline often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on close listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes they want to make. Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to examine and reframe the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, which can shift how they act and feel.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they check what feels helpful and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to connect from home, manage busy days, and keep continuity when life gets hectic. The variety of formats supports steady progress while allowing flexibility for each person’s routine and comfort.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
