About Jacquelyn

Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, trauma, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

She welcomes clients seeking practical tools as well as empathetic listening, drawing on many years of clinical experience to guide conversations about parenting, addiction, intimacy, career transitions, and coping with loss. Dr.

Mentor presents herself as a compassionate clinician who aims to create a calm and respectful therapeutic space where clients can explore problems and build skills. With an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology, plus bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology, she brings more than two decades of practice to her work as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, FL MH9344).

Her background includes extensive work with families, survivors of trauma and abuse, and people navigating bereavement, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and behavioral concerns. She emphasizes psychoeducation and practical resources alongside empathic support, and she approaches therapy with a goal of being nonjudgmental, genuine, and professionally attentive.

Approaches and Online Support for Practical Change

Dr. Mentor uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn concrete strategies for changing behaviors and emotional responses, a useful approach for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes empathic listening and respect for each person’s experience, creating space for clients to explore emotions and values at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to determine which methods best match their goals and preferences, combining skill-building and supportive dialogue as needed. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to focus on immediate concerns while building longer-term coping skills.

Online therapy formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations. These options make it possible to maintain regular contact, access tools and resources between sessions, and continue work on goals even when in-person meetings are not convenient.
