She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and motivation.

Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based ideas, and client-centered techniques to look at emotional patterns and close relationships.

She also addresses related topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication problems.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of responding.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming hard-to-reach emotions and how those emotions affect close relationships. EFT can help people notice interaction patterns and try new ways of connecting when emotions run high.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present-day reactions. It helps people recognize attachment patterns and practice different responses in relationships to feel more stable and understood.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s perspective and goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens without judgment, and supports practical steps the client wants to try.
Choosing the right approach is something to work out together. Jackie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions, then adjust techniques based on what helps most. That collaborative decision guides which tools are used and how sessions proceed.
