About Jacquelyn

Jacquelyn Golden Lane is a licensed social worker (LMSW) with 30 years of professional experience helping people navigate major life challenges. She draws on long practice in clinical settings to build personalized plans that address each client’s goals, whether confronting anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or addiction.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skills alongside emotional insight to support real-life change. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and emotionally-focused work, and she incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful.

This mix allows for both skills training and deeper exploration of patterns that contribute to distress. Jacquelyn serves clients across Michigan and accepts international clients, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

She aims to collaborate with people who want a grounded, adaptable process for coping with stress, life transitions, caregiver strain, workplace concerns, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical benefits

Jacquelyn frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. This approach emphasizes concrete strategies and homework that help clients practice new skills between sessions.

She also integrates client-centered therapy, which centers on empathetic listening and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth. This method is useful for building trust, exploring values, and strengthening self-understanding. Emotionally-focused therapy is another component she brings in for clients working on connection and attachment matters, offering ways to explore emotions and improve relational responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; Jacquelyn will work with each person to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make scheduling more flexible and allow people to fit therapy into busy lives or hard-to-reach locations. These formats support consistent contact, timely skill coaching, and the ability to maintain momentum between appointments while accommodating different comfort levels with remote communication.
