About Jacquelyn

Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor and supervisor with 23 years of clinical experience. She holds a B.S. and an M.S. in Psychology and an Ed.D in Counseling Psychology - a doctoral degree focused on advanced training in counseling, assessment, and therapeutic methods. Her professional work is informed by personal experience; she has faced profound losses and caregiving responsibilities, including the deaths of a child, her parents, and a husband, periods of single parenting after divorce, caring for both parents, and recovery as a breast cancer survivor. Those life events shape her empathy and commitment to helping others navigate grief, trauma, and major transitions.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment and personality concerns, autism spectrum issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and disaster-related coping. She integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused work, while emphasizing psychoeducation and practical tools. Dr. Mentor aims to listen without judgment, respond with empathy and respect, and build a warm, genuine therapeutic relationship that is calm, professional, and supportive. She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC, license MH9344.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Mentor uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's experience guides the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy helps address the emotional and physiological impacts of traumatic events by combining stabilization, processing, and skill-building to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Mentor works collaboratively with each client to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and empowered in their care.

Online therapy with Dr. Mentor offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video call or phone, and shorter conversations can occur through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, access support from different locations within Florida, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while receiving care from licensed professionals and therapists trained to work remotely.
