About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Oshiver is a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed clinical social worker who brings 40 years of clinical experience to her work. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns. Jacqueline aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to manage daily life.
Her style centers on the person in the room. She listens closely and adapts tools to each situation.
Background and approach
Practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy are paired with mindfulness practices to address thoughts, feelings, and body awareness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on connection and closeness in relationships. Jacqueline also uses motivational interviewing to support change and psychodynamic ideas to consider how past patterns affect current life.
She draws on decades of experience in clinical work and teaching to choose what fits each client. This means sessions may include skill practice, reflective conversation, and gentle exploration of personal history. Based in New Jersey, Jacqueline works with adults facing life transitions, career stress, compassion fatigue, parenting questions, ADHD, and other concerns.
Sessions can address family and intimacy issues as well as individual coping skills. She aims to help people integrate their experiences so they can move forward with more clarity. Her credentials include LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist, and LCSW - licensed clinical social worker.
Jacqueline offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Jacqueline commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns of connection and closeness in relationships, helping people change how they respond to each other and feel safer together.She also integrates client-centered listening and mindfulness practices, which support present-moment awareness and self-compassion. Finding the right approach is part of the work; Jacqueline partners with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. That collaborative process helps tailor skills and conversations to what matters most to the client.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, and daily demands while keeping therapeutic momentum. Licensed professionals can use these options to offer regular check-ins, skill practice, and focused conversations without requiring travel.
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.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
