About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Arcand offers supportive, goal-focused therapy for people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. She emphasizes collaboration and invites clients to explore what is getting in the way of living a more satisfying life while building motivation and confidence.

Background and approach

Jacqueline frames clients as the experts on their own stories and works alongside them to identify practical next steps and strengths to draw on. With 10 years of professional experience and licensure as an LCSW, Jacqueline integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each client’s needs.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, attachment-based ideas to understand relational wounds, and trauma-informed methods such as EMDR and narrative therapy when appropriate. Her work often includes attention to codependency, family of origin issues, eating and intimacy-related concerns, and substance use recovery.

Jacqueline practices from Alaska and conducts sessions in English. She aims to create a therapeutic space where clients can ask difficult questions about how problems developed and what practical changes might help, while receiving steady professional support through that process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jacqueline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and often targets anxiety, mood concerns, and patterns that maintain stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and early attachment wounds that affect current relationships, which can be important for work on intimacy, codependency, or family of origin issues. When trauma is a central concern she may incorporate elements of EMDR and narrative therapy to help people process distressing memories and reshape the stories they tell about their experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jacqueline emphasizes doing that work collaboratively. She partners with clients to weigh their symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so care fits the person and their evolving needs.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make this kind of collaborative work more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to connect from Alaska in ways that suit their schedules and communication styles while still engaging in structured, evidence-informed approaches like CBT and attachment-focused work.
