Jacqueline Forde, LPC

Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She approaches therapy with a calm, nonjudgmental style and helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Her work emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier.

She believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person’s goals. Some people come with one urgent problem to resolve, while others want to understand patterns that keep repeating.

Jacqueline blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to address thinking patterns and on attachment-focused perspectives to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and building trust.

Her approach looks at how past experiences affect present day challenges. Jacqueline helps people notice unhelpful beliefs and behaviors and then try different ways of responding. The aim is to create small, manageable changes that add up over time.

With eight years of experience, she works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, ADHD, and issues around body image and self-love. People who want a steady, empathic guide through change will find a collaborative approach and clear, practical steps in sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. It is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and responses, which can help when relationship patterns or intimacy issues cause repeated pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She draws from these approaches rather than using a single fixed method, and adapts as clients learn what helps them most.

Confirm current session options before booking to know how she offers therapy. Many people find online work helpful for fitting sessions into busy lives, for having shorter check-ins when needed, or for avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, childcare, or other obligations while still doing focused therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
