About Jaclene

Jaclene Newell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a warm, relational approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. Jackie aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can slow down and explore what matters to them.

She uses several practical approaches to help clients build new skills and understand painful patterns. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual's comfort. Jackie listens for the story behind the symptoms and helps people name what is happening in their lives.

With nine years of experience, Jackie has supported people through trauma, addiction, mood struggles, and parenting challenges. Her work includes attention to intimacy issues, self-esteem, sleep and eating concerns, and persistent stress reactions. She also addresses attention challenges and compassion fatigue that come from caregiving roles.

Jackie draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people try small, manageable changes. She also uses attachment-informed thinking to understand relationship patterns and emotion-focused skills to regulate distress. Goals are practical, specific, and built around a person’s real-life priorities.

Clients can expect a gentle, direct style that balances feeling with action. Jackie helps people set realistic goals, notice small shifts, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand repeating relationship cycles and learn new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It focuses on practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms and build better daily routines.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaclene will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try methods, adjust them, and track what actually helps in day-to-day life.

If you’re considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible timing. It also lets people use short check-ins when needed, or longer sessions for deeper emotional work, depending on what fits their life that week.

Licensed professionals tailor their methods to what helps most. Expect a mix of listening, skill practice, and small homework tasks designed to fit regular routines rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
