About Jiacheng

Jiacheng (Jacqueline) Liu is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship concerns. She offers practical help for grief, eating and body image worries, ADHD, burnout, and issues related to trauma and addictions. Sessions can also address intimacy, sleeping problems, career stress, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

Jiacheng uses clear, goal-oriented talk and teaches coping tools step by step. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.

Background and approach

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Her style aims to be calm and nonjudgmental while encouraging practical change. Conversations focus on the person's daily life and small skills that can make things easier at home or work.

She emphasizes self-understanding first, then builds on strengths already present. Jiacheng has worked in independent practice, a national residential treatment facility, and psychiatric outpatient settings. Her background gives her experience with a range of concerns and treatment environments.

She combines this experience with a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. She provides services in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Licensed as LPC in Texas, she aims to help clients find realistic steps forward and learn tools they can use between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy puts the person's own experience at the center, offering empathic listening and support so people can make changes at their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs a thoughtful, accepting space to talk through parenting stress, identity questions, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and daily stressors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to values-based action. It is often used when someone wants to reduce avoidance and move toward a more meaningful life despite discomfort.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and can adjust techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, handle brief check-ins, or continue care across time zones for international clients.

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.
