About Jacobi

Jacobi Johnson Wade brings an evidence-based, skills-focused approach to her work as an LMFT in California. She centers therapy on honest conversation and practical tools drawn from therapies such as DBT, CBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing.

Background and approach

Her style blends warmth with directness to create a space where clients can test new strategies and apply them to daily life.

With five years of clinical experience, Jacobi supports adults facing depression, bipolar disorder, substance use, ADHD, and the kinds of life transitions that don’t always fit a diagnosis - career shifts, burnout, relationship questions, and the search for a more aligned life.

She emphasizes learning usable skills rather than only gaining insight, and she views the therapeutic relationship itself as a key engine of change. Jacobi’s interest in this work is informed by personal experience with therapy, which shapes her commitment to helping others feel seen and nonjudged.

Her goal is to help clients feel less stuck, more grounded, and clearer about who they are and where they want to go.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Jacobi uses several evidence-based approaches to help clients build tangible skills and manage symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce mood symptoms and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering practical strategies for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are contemplating change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening internal motivation for healthier choices.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jacobi works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailors a mix of techniques that fit their needs. The therapist views the relationship itself as a vehicle for change and partners with clients to track progress and adjust methods when needed.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care around work or life commitments and to practice skills between sessions in ways that match each client’s routine.
