Jacqueline Litoff, LMHC

Jacqueline Litoff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who blends creative arts training with evidence-based therapies to support adults, coming-of-age individuals, and adolescents facing mental health and substance use challenges. She earned a Master of Arts in Creative Arts Therapy Counseling from Hofstra University, where she trained in multidisciplinary methods that inform an inclusive and flexible approach to care.

Jacqueline adapts treatment to each person’s unique story and strengths, drawing from art therapy, sandtray, somatic techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, Gestalt therapy, and solution-focused strategies. She weaves these tools together to meet clients where they are and to explore new paths toward healing.

Her work centers on creating a supportive environment for self-exploration and growth, with attention to issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Jacqueline also addresses related concerns including communication and control problems, addiction, family conflicts, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety.

Jacqueline is committed to helping individuals build insight and practical skills that support meaningful change, guided by compassion, creativity, and collaborative problem solving.

Combining Creative and Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Jacqueline integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her work to help clients identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and building coping skills that apply to daily life.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for clients struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties. In addition, Jacqueline draws on creative arts therapy methods learned in her master's training - such as art and sandtray techniques - to access nonverbal expression, process trauma, and deepen self-awareness when words alone are insufficient.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Jacqueline works with clients to explore which techniques align with their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for clients seeking care. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing individuals to engage from different locations and schedules. This range of options helps make ongoing support more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
