About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Forde is an LPC based in Texas who blends humanistic and evidence-informed therapies to help people navigate complex emotional challenges.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience, she emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's unique perspective, guiding clients through issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her work also addresses intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, and multicultural considerations.

Jacqueline favors a holistic, client-centered stance that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Emotionally-Focused methods. She invites clients to explore how past experiences shape current patterns, to uncover unconscious beliefs, and to cultivate values-driven action.

Sessions are designed to be nonjudgmental and pressure-free, with treatment plans tailored to specific goals whether someone wants focused problem-solving or deeper personal exploration. Throughout her practice she encourages self-compassion and practical change, helping people identify obstacles and build skills for sustained growth.

Jacqueline frames healing as a process of increasing awareness and choosing steps that align with each person’s life purpose and priorities.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support



Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, obsessions, and panic symptoms. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action while learning to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, a useful approach for stress, avoidance patterns, and issues like ADHD-related struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and Jacqueline approaches this collaboratively. She assesses a client's goals, preferences, and life context, then blends methods to create a tailored plan. This collaborative process helps clients understand why certain strategies are chosen and how they support short-term relief and longer-term growth.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care from different locations within Texas, and access support when in-person meetings are difficult. The variety of options allows clients to use the communication style that best fits their comfort and needs.
