Jacqueline Hendrickson, LCSW

Jacqueline Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 32 years of professional experience. She earned a master’s degree in clinical social work in 1985 and has maintained continuous practice since that time, developing a particular focus on family therapy and relational concerns. Jacqueline brings experience supporting people through grief and loss, relationship and intimacy challenges, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and career-related difficulties. She emphasizes a collaborative, open approach that encourages clients to share thoughts and feelings without judgment, and she works to create a respectful space where practical coping strategies and personal insight can grow. Jacqueline recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and celebrates clients for taking that first step toward change and healing. Her practice also addresses issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue, helping clients navigate life transitions and clarify values and goals. Whether someone seeks short-term focused work or deeper exploration, Jacqueline aims to match interventions to each person’s needs while honoring their experience and strengths.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jacqueline Hendrickson

Jacqueline incorporates client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathetic listening and supporting clients to find their own solutions; this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, addressing anxiety, and improving relationships. She also uses narrative therapy, which helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives to uncover new meanings and possibilities - a useful method for coping with grief, life transitions, and questions of purpose. Additionally, psychodynamic therapy is part of her practice when longer-term exploration of patterns and past influences can deepen understanding of relationship and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that feel most effective, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Her aim is to match techniques to the individual rather than apply a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage mobility and caregiving demands. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support in a way that aligns with daily life and personal needs.
