About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Worthington is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She brings a whole-person perspective that blends evidence-informed methods with compassion, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy while attending to the interplay of life stressors, relationships, and work demands. Her practice emphasizes practical skills and emotional understanding to support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, career strain, ADHD, and related concerns.

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, building resilience, and developing concrete strategies for coping with change and stress. Jacqueline integrates acceptance and commitment elements alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to tailor work to each person’s goals and strengths.

The result is a collaborative process aimed at improving self-esteem, addressing family and relationship difficulties, and navigating transitions with greater clarity and purpose. Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented environment where therapy is guided by individualized plans and real-world tools.

Jacqueline’s background includes addressing issues such as postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, social anxiety, and workplace challenges, and she works to help clients move toward increased confidence, balance, and practical solutions.

Approaches and Practical Online Care

Jacqueline commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, and will adjust strategies over time based on what proves most helpful in sessions.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from a familiar environment while still receiving structured, goal-oriented support from a licensed professional.
