About Jacqueline
Jacqueline German is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds a New York LCSW and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Jacqueline focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and addictive behaviors.
She has particular experience with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and adoption or foster care histories. Jacqueline also supports people with body image problems, codependency, control and communication struggles, and dissociation.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work with avoidant and dependent personality patterns and concerns linked to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Jacqueline aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and plans to fit a person’s situation instead of using the same approach for everyone.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps that feel doable between meetings. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Jacqueline encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support as they try new ways of coping.
She welcomes clients who want an empathetic listener and a practical guide through challenging moments. Jacqueline offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Evidence-based approaches for online work
Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach emphasizes grounding and safety skills to help people manage dissociation, trauma responses, and intense emotions; it teaches simple exercises to use between sessions to stay present and regulated. Another approach targets relationship and communication patterns by identifying unhelpful interaction cycles and practicing new ways of relating; this helps with intimacy issues, commitment worries, and recurring arguments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jacqueline works together with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The therapy relationship is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or an easier way to start therapy without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
