About Jackie

Jackie M O'Malley Gomez is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and focus-related concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a strengths-based perspective, treating each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance drawn from long-term practice. Her work includes support for those coping with post-traumatic stress, relationship and family challenges, addiction, anger, parenting struggles, and difficulties with self-esteem and self-love.

Jackie also addresses a wide range of related issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, isolation and loneliness, life-purpose questions, panic, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Therapeutic methods she uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, somatic techniques, and trauma-focused interventions.

Jackie emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies tailored to each client's needs, and she encourages people to recognize their existing strengths as the foundation for change. She offers services in English and practices from California under the credential CA LMFT 42374.

Approaches for Online Healing and Regulation

Jackie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so people can reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve concentration. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Jackie works with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, and she adapts techniques over time to find the best fit for symptom relief and personal growth.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to access consistent support from a licensed professional in California while allowing clients to choose the format that feels most practical and comfortable for them.
