About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn "Jackie" Taylor-Mays is a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee with 20 years of practice. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. Jackie emphasizes strengths and real steps, and she aims to support people as they try new ways of coping.
Jackie uses approaches that center the person and their experience. She listens, helps people name the patterns that cause pain, and works with them to try different skills in everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with space to process emotions and to build new habits. People come with many concerns such as grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain, career stress, or problems with sleeping and eating. Jackie also addresses issues related to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and substance use.
She helps people who are dealing with life transitions, abandonment, blended family tensions, or chronic illness find clearer next steps. Her style blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed approaches. That means she pays attention to emotional experience while also teaching skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
For relationship concerns she draws on emotionally focused and Gottman-influenced ideas to improve communication and connection. Jackie works in plain language and encourages small experiments between sessions. She helps people set realistic goals, notice what changes, and adjust the plan as needed.
Therapy is a collaboration aimed at increasing coping, confidence, and day-to-day functioning.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jacquelyn blends client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online work. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's story, helping them feel heard and seen. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating challenges.She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships and emotions. That approach can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and improving how people connect and respond in close relationships. Jackie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will collaborate on which approaches to try first so care fits the individual's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is an issue, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats add flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum while working toward change.
