Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current trust and intimacy. It can help when attachment, abandonment, or communication problems make relationships feel unsafe or distant.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and helping people find their own answers. This approach supports people who need a respectful space to sort priorities, build confidence, and make choices that fit their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and daily coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts language and pace so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
