Jacqueline Tasca , LCSW

Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma, and many life changes. She brings two decades of social work experience to sessions and focuses on helping people find practical ways forward. She aims to listen first and understand each person's situation before working toward change.

Jacqueline trained at Adelphi University where she earned a master's degree in social work. Over about 20 years she worked in both direct care and leadership roles, and she moved away from management to spend more time counseling people one on one. That clinical background includes supporting people coping with cancer and chronic illness, palliative care, caregiver stress, bereavement, parenting concerns, and relationship difficulties.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She emphasizes building trust and making sure people feel heard. Early work in therapy is often about making a clear plan together, with short-term goals and techniques you can practice between sessions.

Jacqueline commonly uses client-centered methods alongside solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when they fit a person's needs. Sessions are practical and focused on the problems you bring.

People who choose Jacqueline can expect straightforward conversations and tools aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. She meets people where they are and helps them develop steps to cope, change habits, and strengthen relationships.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience first, then tailoring the work around your goals and values to help you feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful habits that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with you to decide which methods to try based on your needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a short break during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep a steady rhythm of sessions and practice skills between meetings.
