About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Oshiver brings a client-centered therapeutic orientation to her work, blending practical strategies with reflective inquiry to help people manage stress, mood concerns, relationship struggles, and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process rooted in compassion and respect, helping clients make sense of difficult experiences while strengthening coping and interpersonal skills.

With four decades of clinical practice and roles in university teaching and post-graduate training, Jacqueline draws on a range of methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and emotionally-focused strategies. Her approach attends to both symptom relief and deeper relational patterns, addressing grief, trauma, addictions, depression, anxiety, and intimacy issues alongside broader life transitions.

She aims to support clients in integrating past experiences so they can move forward with greater calm and clarity. Licensed in New Jersey and New York as an LMFT and LCSW, Jacqueline emphasizes a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can explore emotions, values, and goals.

She works collaboratively to tailor interventions to each person's needs, helping them restore a sense of equilibrium and vitality in daily life.

Integrative approaches for online care and practical support



Jacqueline commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathic environment where clients' own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people build self-awareness and confidence in decision making. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a skills-based approach that identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and Jacqueline treats it as a collaborative decision. She will explore a client’s priorities, life context, and preferences, and then adapt methods or combine strategies so the work aligns with the person’s goals and pace.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care when attending in-person visits is difficult and allow clients to work with licensed professionals from their own location while using the therapeutic approaches that best fit their needs.
