About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Arcand is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people take the first steps toward change. She focuses on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence so people can move past what's holding them back. Jacqueline describes the counseling relationship as a place to ask hard questions and try new ways of solving problems.
She has about 10 years of professional experience and brings a mix of approaches to sessions. Jacqueline supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. She also works with issues tied to attachment, codependency, family of origin, and life transitions including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
In sessions she treats clients as the experts on their own stories. Conversation is used to identify patterns, uncover strengths, and set practical goals. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, narrative approaches to reframe personal stories, and attachment-informed perspectives to improve relationships.
Jacqueline emphasizes steady, supportive work rather than quick fixes. People can expect straightforward talk, problem-solving, and homework when it helps progress. She aims to help clients build tools they can use after therapy ends.
Her credentials include LCSW and she practices with a focus on accessible, respectful care. Sessions are offered in English and she is licensed in Arizona and Alaska.
Approach and online options for collaborative care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connection styles and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and find new ways to relate to others. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, using listening and reflection to help someone explore goals and build self-direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the client as the expert on their life and adjusts tools over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules call for them. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about what rhythm and format would best fit daily life.
