About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Meredith is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues. Parents can also find help with parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with major life changes.

She offers straightforward support and practical steps rather than long lectures. Jacqueline uses therapies that focus on thoughts, emotions, and behavior so clients can make real changes day to day.

Background and approach

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and EMDR depending on what a person needs. Sessions often include learning skills for managing strong feelings and practicing small changes between meetings. Her style is collaborative and direct.

She listens first, then suggests tools that match a person’s goals and situation. Problem solving and building coping skills are common parts of her work. Jacqueline has experience with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, grief, intimacy and self-esteem problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses issues like adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, attachment and communication problems, and caregiver stress. People meet her by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations are practical and focused on what will help now and next.

Her Florida license is FL LMHC MH15366.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like depression or worry. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that can help lessen the intensity of painful memories by using guided bilateral stimulation while discussing the memory. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jacqueline will work together with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. Sessions can shift focus over time as progress is made and priorities change. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions offer a simpler option for those on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in, get brief coaching, or work through skills between longer sessions. These options support flexibility and ongoing momentum in treatment.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
