About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Valoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Hawaii with three years of experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, and life changes. Jacqueline also helps people facing low self-esteem, workplace strain, and challenges around separation and communication.
She uses a trauma-informed, collaborative style that centers the person's own perspective. Sessions focus on understanding what happened, learning practical coping skills, and making clearer next steps. Jacqueline may bring creative methods into sessions when helpful, such as art-based exercises that make feelings easier to name.
Jacqueline draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress and mood concerns. When wanted, she will thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into conversation and care, respecting each person's beliefs and preferences. She offers therapy in English and Spanish to accommodate bilingual clients.
Her work is aimed at adults navigating major transitions, divorce and separation, or persistent feelings of guilt and shame. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change or understand about themselves.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Jacqueline uses evidence-based approaches that aim to make difficult memories and strong emotions easier to manage. One method she uses is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change distressing thoughts and build coping strategies for trauma and mood issues. Another approach mentioned is EMDR, which is used to process traumatic memories in a structured way and can reduce the intensity of painful recollections.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Jacqueline will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences with you and then suggest techniques to try. Sessions often begin with practical coping steps and then move into deeper processing as you feel ready, with adjustments made along the way.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Therapists and licensed professionals generally adapt exercises and creative activities to work well in a virtual setting, and Jacqueline can discuss which format best matches your needs when you schedule the first appointment.
