Jacqueline Forde, LPC

Jacqueline Forde is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who believes mental strength includes sitting with difficult feelings while trusting that light will return. She recognizes that seeking help can feel overwhelming and humbling, and that finding a therapist who feels comfortable and at ease can be challenging. Jacqueline approaches each person as the expert in their own life and offers a no-pressure, nonjudgmental setting where clients can be themselves.

She collaborates with clients to tailor the therapy experience to their goals, whether the focus is resolving a specific obstacle or exploring deeper life patterns. Her work is holistic, drawing on a blend of cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, inner-child, and humanistic techniques to illuminate how past experiences influence present challenges. By guiding a process of increased awareness, she supports clients in identifying unconscious beliefs that hold them back and determining practical steps needed for change.

Jacqueline frames wounds as potential openings to growth and the more beautiful parts of the self. As an LPC she holds a state license to provide professional counseling and aims to help clients reclaim agency, build insight, and move forward with intention.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current intimacy, communication, and trust, making it useful for relationship concerns, attachment wounds, and some trauma-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing alternatives in everyday life, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy to what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain consistent care even when life circumstances change.
