About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, trauma, and parenting challenges. She greets each person with a calm, listening presence and focuses on practical next steps. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to build trust from the first session.
Jacqueline chose social work because she values direct contact with people.
Background and approach
She earned her master of social work at Adelphi University and spent many years in clinical and leadership roles. Over two decades of practice gave her exposure to a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, cancer-related coping, caregiver stress, and end-of-life issues. Her sessions tend to be problem-focused and interactive.
She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. She also brings solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals for change. Parents often mention practical concerns like sleep, eating, and finding routines that fit family life.
Jacqueline supports people who are navigating adoption or foster care questions, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and commitment or communication struggles. She describes listening as her central strength and makes space for people to feel heard before moving to strategies. Her aim is to help clients find manageable steps for coping and meaningful progress over time.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care
Jacqueline commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-informed strategies in online sessions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable thinking; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns that cause stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and help with sleep, eating, and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jacqueline listens to your goals and preferences and suggests techniques that fit your day-to-day life. Together you decide which strategies to try, and she adjusts the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone work can fit a shorter check-in or times with lower bandwidth. Chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief problem-solving, check-ins between sessions, or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to get consistent support without long commutes or scheduling strain.
