About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Hendrickson is a licensed clinical social worker with more than three decades of experience in New Jersey. She earned a Master of Social Work degree in 1985 and has worked continuously in clinical practice since then. Jacqueline focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns.
She creates a calm, accepting space where people can name what is hard and start to make changes. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative, with a focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Jacqueline pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and choices. Her approach draws from client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns.
Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and track progress. Jacqueline works with issues such as self-esteem, career concerns, intimacy-related struggles, and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, social anxiety, and life transitions.
She brings a steady presence and long experience to these topics. People who reach out can expect practical conversation, gentle challenge, and goals that feel achievable. Jacqueline aims to help each person build clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.
The work is paced to suit individual needs and circumstances.

How Jacqueline’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspectives. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting what matters most, and tailoring support to the individual’s needs. It works well for stress, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. In teletherapy this can mean talking through specific events and reframing unhelpful narratives to open up new choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. The therapeutic plan is shaped together rather than imposed.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want frequent, brief exchanges or prefer writing their thoughts first. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around parenting schedules, work hours, and life demands.
