About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting, and coping with life changes. Jacqueline aims to listen first and help people find clear, workable steps forward.

She works from a calm, nonjudgmental stance and values straightforward conversation. Jacqueline trained at Adelphi University where she earned her master’s in social work.

Background and approach

She spent many years as a social work director before returning to direct counseling because she prefers face-to-face contact. That background gives her familiarity with community resources and with coordinating care when needed. In sessions she prioritizes building trust and hearing each person’s story.

Her approach often uses solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people set small goals and practice new skills. She also draws on client-centered listening and mindfulness strategies to reduce stress and improve emotional awareness. Her experience includes working with bereavement, cancer and chronic illness, palliative care, caregiver support, and community resource referral.

Jacqueline also addresses blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, communication problems, and transitions like divorce or separation. Jacqueline practices in New York and holds New York LCSW 073145. Sessions are offered in English.

She aims to create a practical plan tailored to each person’s needs while keeping conversations clear and grounded.

How Jacqueline’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. It creates space for people to tell their story and feel heard, which helps when dealing with grief, relationship strain, or stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits. These approaches are useful for many everyday concerns and for building clear skills to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline will work together with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan with concrete steps, whether the focus is coping with loss, managing panic, improving communication, or handling life transitions.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Jacqueline offers video calls and phone sessions for conversations that feel most like in-person meetings. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexible, shorter check-ins and tools to reinforce change between sessions. These options aim to increase accessibility and convenience while keeping the work focused on real progress.

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.

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.
