Jacqueline Edwards , LPC

Jacqueline Edwards is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self esteem, and depression. She frames therapy around each person's strengths and choices. Her approach is practical and straightforward to help people take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Jacqueline encourages people to name what matters most to them and to build skills that match those values. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to support values-based action. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in the client's experience.

In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as avoidance, harsh self-talk, or unhelpful coping like substances or overworking. She helps clients try small experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating and behaving. Work often includes setting clear goals and practicing specific skills for emotion regulation and communication.

Jacqueline has seven years of experience in clinical settings and focuses on practical, step-by-step work. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, dissociation, eating issues, and feelings of isolation. She also addresses attachment concerns, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through an online subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying targeted behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving emotional connection in relationships, which can help with attachment and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic, and then adapt strategies from ACT, CBT, or EFT to fit those needs. Together they will review what works and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections or ongoing prompts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently from different locations.
