About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Rafter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of clinical experience. She holds an LCSW in California and an LMSW in Michigan and has spent the last ten years supporting adults with relationship concerns, anxiety, ADHD, parenting stress, and family of origin issues.
She works in a direct, interactive way and focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Sessions often include talking through difficult relationship patterns, building coping skills for anxiety and stress, and addressing how early family roles and expectations still affect current behavior.
Jacqueline uses techniques from attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR to address painful memories and recurring patterns. She also draws on methods for relationship communication and intimacy when those areas are a concern.
Her approach combines short-term skill building with longer-term work on how people relate to themselves and others. That can mean practice in setting boundaries, learning new ways to manage anger, or reworking expectations that came from family of origin dynamics.
Jacqueline sees adults who want concrete steps and clear discussion. She asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session and uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time.
How Jacqueline Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Jacqueline works with attachment-based methods that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeating roles, clinginess, or distance that trace back to childhood connections.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and anger by breaking down problems into small, manageable steps.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That may mean mixing strategies from attachment work and CBT, or incorporating EMDR techniques when processing painful memories feels appropriate.
