About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Lizarazo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She introduces herself as Jackie and centers sessions on the client’s story, building on each person’s strengths to face stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem.
Jackie takes a direct and active approach in sessions. She listens without judgment and offers feedback aimed at growth. She may assign practical homework between meetings and encourages honest discussion about both recent events and the past.
Her practice focuses on helping people manage depression, build confidence, and cope with loss and traumatic experiences. She also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, chronic illness and pain, substance issues, and relationship separation.
Jackie uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to regulate emotions. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to strengthen their own reasons for change.
She works from Illinois and offers sessions in English. Jacqueline emphasizes a collaborative process that asks the client to be an active participant. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on the therapist’s availability.
How Jackie’s methods translate to online therapy
Jacqueline commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities, which helps when someone needs a safe space to tell their story and make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and avoidant patterns.She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills are useful for people managing intense emotions, grief, or patterns of conflict. Jacqueline approaches choices about methods collaboratively, and she will work with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences.
