About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Meredith is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, and addiction among other challenges.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Sessions focus on identifying painful emotions and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Jacqueline helps clients name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings shape behavior.

Her style is practical and straightforward. She helps people build coping skills, improve communication, and make changes that fit their lives. Work may include emotion-focused work, behavior-based strategies, and skills from DBT and ACT when helpful.

Jacqueline also addresses specific topics such as parenting stress, body image, attachment issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, intimacy-related problems, and caregiver strain. She pays attention to how past losses or abandonment experiences affect current relationships.

People looking to start can expect clear goals and concrete strategies alongside exploration of emotional patterns. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and offers services in English. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jacqueline uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and work with core emotions that shape relationship patterns and reactions. EFT focuses on naming feelings and changing interaction cycles that keep people stuck.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. ACT helps with living around difficult feelings while CBT offers tools to shift patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize emotion-focused exploration, values-based work, or practical behavior change.

Confirm current session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as scheduling during a break or avoiding travel time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and the option to attend without being on camera if a quieter setup is preferred.
