About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, eating concerns and depression. Jacqueline also lists focused work around attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, blended family problems, and matters related to kink and alternative sex culture.

Her approach blends practical therapy methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based Therapy inform sessions about relationships and how early bonds affect current life.

Sessions aim to be direct and person-centered. Jacqueline talks through concrete steps and small experiments to try between meetings. She pays attention to how emotions and relationships show up in daily life and in specific decisions.

People who bring concerns about guilt or shame related to family, faith, relationships, or past actions may find these themes taken up in session. Jacqueline frames those topics alongside grief, eating issues, intimacy, and addiction concerns rather than treating them as isolated problems.

Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.

How Jacqueline Uses Therapies Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, value-driven actions despite discomfort, which can help with anxiety and persistent guilt.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try alternative actions, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and eating-related concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy highlights how early relationship patterns affect current connections and feelings of shame or abandonment. This approach is helpful when relationship dynamics or family of origin issues are central to the problem.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That choice can shift as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, shorten commute time, allow brief check-ins during busy weeks, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals often adapt session pacing and homework to suit the realities of each person’s schedule.
