About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Arcand is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She emphasizes practical steps that build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Jacqueline presents herself as a guide rather than an expert on a person's life story. She aims to make early sessions feel straightforward and understandable for worried parents and individuals alike.
Jacqueline draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and uses a mix of approaches to meet different needs. She often helps people look at how attachment, past events, and current thinking patterns affect daily life. Sessions include talking through what feels wrong, how it started, and small changes a person can try between meetings.
Her work includes support around relationship strain, codependency, grief, and identity concerns linked to LGBT matters. Jacqueline also supports people coping with eating issues, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care dynamics, and the stress first responders can carry.
In therapy she centers the person’s narrative and strengths. That means hearing the whole story, naming patterns, and using strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. EMDR and narrative work are available when processing trauma is needed.
