Jacqueline Tasca, LCSW

Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice. She holds a master of social work from Adelphi University and spent years in leadership as a social work director before returning to direct patient care to rekindle the connection she values most - face-to-face counseling. Over twenty years of practice have given her wide exposure to concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, relationship and family challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, and anger.

Jacqueline also supports people coping with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and life changes like divorce or aging. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental approach and prioritizes building trust through active listening - something others often point out about her. Her clinical work frequently integrates solution-focused strategies and cognitive-behavioral techniques, guided by a client-centered stance that honors each personâs experience and goals. Jacqueline aims to join clients in their struggles, help them find practical ways forward, and collaborate on steps toward improved coping and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jacqueline uses a client-centered approach that focuses on listening deeply and shaping therapy around each personâs priorities, helping clients feel heard and guiding collaboration on meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical method she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps and build momentum toward specific changes, which can be especially helpful for clients facing life transitions or goal-oriented concerns.

Jacqueline views finding the right combination of approaches as a collaborative process. She works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors interventions so the therapeutic plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible. These options allow scheduling around work, caregiving, and other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy or travel is necessary. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver many of the same skills-based and supportive interventions used in in-person sessions.
