About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Oshiver brings a client-centered approach to therapy. She blends practical strategies with attention to emotions and life meaning. Jacqueline aims to help people feel steadier and more able to meet daily demands.

She frames the work as a shared effort between equals and keeps sessions warm and straightforward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to address relationship and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolkit when they fit a person's goals. Jacqueline has built a long career supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She also helps with relationship problems, parenting strain, work stress, ADHD, and issues tied to identity and intimacy.

Her background includes both clinical work and university teaching, and she has worked across different care settings. Jacqueline holds licenses as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and New Jersey. Her style is nonjudgmental and practical: she helps people integrate their life experiences and find ways to function better day to day.

Sessions focus on real steps to feel more peaceful and effective. People who work with Jacqueline can expect a collaborative process. She pays attention to how emotions, thoughts, and the body interact, and she helps clients set clear goals.

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to what matters most in each person’s life.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals. In an online session this means the therapist follows the client's lead, asks questions, and helps clarify what change would look like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes homework, tracking thoughts between sessions, and practicing new behaviors while life goes on.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and may shift as goals change or new issues emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face and use shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
