About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Jacqueline aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what feels hard right now.
She uses several approaches to meet each person where they are, including cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused work.
Background and approach
Sessions often include looking at how past experiences shape current patterns and finding small, concrete changes that make daily life easier. Jacqueline emphasizes that the client is the expert in their own life and that therapy is a collaboration. Jacqueline works with issues common to parenting such as communication struggles, control challenges, and balancing life and career demands.
She also addresses trauma, eating and body image concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. The focus is on clear steps and realistic goals rather than long lectures. Her style is warm and straightforward.
Jacqueline encourages people to notice unhelpful beliefs, try new behaviors, and build routines that reduce stress and improve connection. She helps clients translate insights into practical actions they can use at home. For those unsure how to begin, she suggests starting with a short conversation to identify priorities and create a simple plan.
Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs, whether the aim is immediate coping skills or deeper personal work.

How Jacqueline’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes that reduce distress and improve function. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people in naming and processing strong emotions to improve closeness and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust the focus over time, mixing skills practice, emotional work, and exploration of past patterns until you find what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face work for emotion-focused exercises, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits quick reflections or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules or work days while keeping continuity of care.
