About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience in New York to support people through grief, parenting challenges, addiction struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach is flexible and practical.
She meets people where they are and adjusts how much direction she offers. Some clients want clear steps and tools; others prefer space to talk and reflect.
Background and approach
Either way, she focuses on building trust and working side by side with each person. Sessions often involve talking through recent problems, identifying patterns that contribute to distress, and trying new coping strategies. She uses evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to help people manage strong emotions and stressful situations.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used when people want focused change or clearer next steps. Jacquetta also draws on client-centered and dialectical approaches to balance acceptance with practical change. That means listening closely, validating difficult feelings, and offering tools people can use between sessions.
Her style aims to help people feel more empowered and able to handle day-to-day challenges. Her background includes long-term practice in New York and experience helping people with family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family adjustments, chronic illness, and parenting strains. She helps people who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steadier coping in life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers validation, and helps them name what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest options and adapt methods as progress is made, so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that fit different lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and use visual tools, while phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other obligations.
