Jacqueline Hendrickson, LCSW

Jacqueline Hendrickson is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of practice in New Jersey. She brings 33 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people face common life stresses. Jacqueline speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone considering therapy.

She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. Relationship and intimacy-related concerns are a common focus, along with struggles around sleeping, parenting, career pressure, and self-esteem. Jacqueline also pays attention to compassion fatigue and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues.

Her approach centers on listening first and letting clients shape the work. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person, and narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Psychodynamic perspectives help uncover patterns from the past that affect current behavior, and solution-focused techniques aim to find practical next steps.

Sessions are conversational and grounded. Jacqueline works to build a straightforward space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. She encourages small, achievable changes and practical coping skills that fit into daily life.

If you are nervous about starting, she acknowledges that taking the first step takes courage. The process begins with a simple match and scheduling step, and she will work with you to set clear goals and realistic plans moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people clarify what matters most and set goals that feel authentic. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and invites new ways of describing problems and strengths. It can be useful for changing how a difficulty is understood and acted on.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they will try different ways of working until a good fit is found, and adapt the plan as needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or audio in whatever combination works best for their day. The clinician will help arrange a practical schedule and pace that fits your routine.
