About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey. She has more than three decades of experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem struggles, career shifts, and sleep difficulties. Jacqueline frames therapy as a straightforward conversation where clients can talk through what feels hard right now.
She earned a Master of Social Work in 1985 and has practiced continuously since then. That long experience gives her familiarity with a wide range of life transitions and stressors. Her background includes work focused on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, and aging and geriatric matters.
In sessions she favors approaches that center the client's perspective and life story. This includes client-centered conversations that follow what matters most to the person in the room. She also uses narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and solution-focused techniques to identify small practical steps.
Jacqueline aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for people to name feelings and try new ways of coping. She often helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and set realistic next steps. Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages people to move at a pace that feels doable.
If you are unsure whether therapy fits your needs, she invites you to consider one session and see how it feels. The initial step is described as simple and courageous, and she works with each person to make the process clear and understandable.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities, giving people space to talk and decide what feels most important to address. This approach is helpful for issues like stress, low self-esteem, and sleep problems because it follows what the client wants to change.Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for grief, identity shifts, and relationship patterns by allowing practical re-authoring of those stories.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here.
