About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, grief, and career-related stress.
Her approach centers on listening first and then adapting to what a person needs. Some clients prefer more guidance; others want space to lead the conversation. She helps people untangle patterns learned in the family they grew up in, including family of origin issues and difficulties around adoption or fatherhood.
In sessions she uses straightforward, skills-based work alongside deeper conversations about feelings and history. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals in focus, plus mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing when change feels daunting. These methods are used to address specific problems like anger, avoidance, or mood fluctuations rather than to label someone.
Clients can expect a practical, collaborative style aimed at clearer thinking and better coping. The therapist encourages vulnerability while working at a pace the person can handle. To begin, people choose the online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and strengths and involves reflective listening and collaboration to clarify what matters. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It provides concrete exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run high.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so arrangements match your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a break from work. They can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps, or permit shorter phone conversations when bandwidth or time is limited. Discuss practical preferences and constraints when scheduling to find an arrangement that works.
