About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Galbreath Rabouin is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and guilt and shame.
Jacquelyn focuses on straightforward conversation and steady presence in sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's experience and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR when trauma and strong relational feelings are central. Mindfulness practices are used to ground attention and reduce reactivity.
In practical terms, sessions are a place to say what feels difficult and to try small changes that affect daily life. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and suggests concrete exercises to test new ways of responding. When grief or loss is present, she balances space for feeling with steps toward daily functioning.
Her approach is collaborative. Goals are set together and adjusted as needed. People who come for help with guilt and shame often work on understanding where those feelings come from and on changing the behaviors and thoughts that keep those feelings active.
Jacquelyn works in California and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions, emphasizing listening and reflecting so people feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through painful feelings like guilt and shame and to be heard without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple exercises and homework to shift those patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and the self-critical thoughts that fuel shame.Jacquelyn treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She and the client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then pick methods that fit. Over the first few sessions they check whether the chosen mix is helping and adjust if needed so work stays relevant and practical.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins on a lunch break, sessions that do not require travel, or using phone rather than video when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises used in person to remote work, including guided mindfulness practices, CBT worksheets, and emotionally-focused conversations. Ask about specific formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and goals.
