About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Galbreath Rabouin is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works directly with people who want clearer emotional understanding and steadier day-to-day coping.
Jacquelyn uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. In sessions she helps people name hard-to-reach emotions and notice the patterns those feelings create. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness strategies when trauma or overwhelming memories are involved.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients find small changes that make daily life more manageable. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to be different going forward.
Jacquelyn pays attention to both feelings and practical skills. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, learning tools to reduce anxiety, or working through grief in paced steps. She also addresses problems like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness or pain, and isolation.
Clients can expect calm, focused sessions that combine emotional work with concrete tools. The therapist helps people track progress and adjust the approach as needed. Those interested in starting are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How EFT and related approaches work in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions that underlie recurring patterns. It is often used when feelings are hard to name and when relationship-related reactions keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and their experience, offering space to talk and be heard while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adjust methods as sessions progress. That collaborative conversation helps match EFT, CBT, or other tools to the issue at hand.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require a camera, which can help when a shorter step is all that fits into a break. Licensed professionals can adapt emotional work and skill practice to the online setting, and Jacquelyn will help clients choose the format that fits their life and goals.
