About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Worthington is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Jacqueline draws on practical strategies so conversations feel clear and doable from the first visit.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative and start with what matters most to the person sitting across from her.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward tools rather than jargon, helping clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and track small changes over time. Jacqueline blends several evidence-based approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based decisions and emotional flexibility. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person's story. In therapy she focuses on real-life problems such as family stress, workplace strain, grief, trauma and parenting concerns.

She also addresses related issues like postpartum depression, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to build coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and create clearer next steps. Appointments are available through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Sessions happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules. To begin, prospective clients follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress because it focuses on practical steps and experiments people can try between sessions.

She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into sessions to help clients clarify their values and take actions that match those values, even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be helpful for coping with life changes, ongoing stress, and chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what feels manageable.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit busy lives. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, childcare, or other commitments and allow people to continue building skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep momentum and practice new strategies in everyday settings.

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.

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.
