Online support
Attachment and Trauma-Informed Care Online
Jacqueline integrates attachment-based ideas with client-centered work to help people understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Attachment-based therapy focuses on connection patterns and helps with intimacy issues, family of origin concerns, and feelings of abandonment by identifying relational habits and trying new ways of relating.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, which is an approach that helps reduce the intensity of distress tied to past traumatic memories. EMDR can be helpful for trauma, abuse, and difficult life events when memories continue to affect daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will listen to your goals and preferences, explain options, and together decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as you move forward so the work stays practical and focused on your needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work over time.
