About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Hayes is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of clinical experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and family life.

Background and approach

She also addresses grief, anger, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, career transitions, and broader life adjustments while attending to issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation. Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care.

Jacqueline emphasizes collaborative dialogue and creates individualized plans that fit each person's circumstances and goals. She aims to empower clients to build confidence, improve communication, and regain a sense of direction during difficult seasons.

Jacqueline draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to a client's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Licensed in California as an LMFT (CA LMFT 50113), she offers multiple remote session formats and accepts international clients, making support accessible to people in varied locations and life situations.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Jacqueline uses evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build coping skills. One approach focuses on practical skill-building to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing alternative responses that can ease stress and impulsivity. Another approach emphasizes improving relationships and communication by exploring attachment patterns, increasing awareness of emotional triggers, and practicing clearer, more effective interaction strategies.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works together with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques over time so treatment fits changing circumstances and produces useful tools for everyday life.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to receive consistent support around work schedules, caregiving demands, or travel. These formats make it easier to continue therapy during life transitions and to apply new skills between sessions with ongoing guidance from a licensed professional.
