About Jaclene
Jaclene Newell is an LPC who offers a warm, steady presence for people carrying heavy feelings. She writes and talks plainly, and she aims to make the therapy room feel like a calm place to begin again. Jackie meets people where they are and moves at a gentle, realistic pace.
She has nine years of experience working with adults, teens, and couples around anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her approach blends practical skills with attention to relationships and emotion. Sessions focus on what helps day-to-day functioning as well as deeper patterns that keep problems returning.
Jaclene uses a mix of methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical strategies. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She pays close attention to how relationships and attachment shape a person’s struggles.
She also supports concerns often connected to disability and chronic conditions, including chronic pain, illness, and disability, and she lists intellectual disability as a focus area. Jaclene helps people who are coping with changes, burnout, compassion fatigue, or overlapping mental health issues.
The first meeting is simple and practical: talk about what brought someone in, set compassionate, realistic goals, and plan next steps together. She encourages small, measurable changes and notices progress in everyday life, like calmer breathing, clearer communication, and easier sleep.

Step 3
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Jaclene uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based principles in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves for better emotional safety.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals, life context, and what feels most useful. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is observed, keeping the plan collaborative and flexible.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Others like being able to continue work during life transitions or when relocating. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and attachment-based work to conversations and exercises that fit a person’s schedule and needs, helping make therapy practical for everyday life.
