About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Forde is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, and related concerns. She approaches therapy with compassion and straightforward care. Jacqueline aims to make the work feel practical and manageable for people who are already overwhelmed.

She meets each person where they are and treats them as the expert in their own life. Sessions are offered without pressure and with an emphasis on being able to speak openly. Jacqueline describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals and the pace are set together.

Jacqueline uses a mix of approaches to fit individual needs, including cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered techniques. She also draws on attachment-based and emotion-focused perspectives to look at how past experiences shape present patterns. This combination is meant to help people notice unhelpful beliefs and try new ways of responding.

Work in sessions can include addressing panic attacks, obsessive behaviors, grief, relationship strain, or struggles with self-image and control. Jacqueline helps people identify what is getting in the way and then practices concrete steps to change those patterns. She encourages exploring deeper life themes when that is helpful.

Her style is humanistic and practical. People who come for help with addictions, trauma, parenting strain, or career pressure can expect a steady, respectful process that focuses on real-life changes and on rebuilding a sense of agency.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and then move toward values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses; it is commonly used for panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships and can help change repeating patterns that cause stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline aims to collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts exercises and the pace so the plan feels manageable and practical for daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets the therapist and client use tools like structured worksheets, breathing and grounding practice, and in-session homework that carry into everyday routines.
