Jacqueline Arcand , LCSW

Jacqueline Arcand is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process and serves as a guide for people who want to strengthen motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while navigating life’s challenges.

Her clinical work includes supporting individuals coping with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, codependency, and fractures in attachment. She also addresses relationship struggles, depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and anger issues, bipolar disorder, and the practical impacts of life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, family of origin dynamics, first responder stress, and substance-related problems.

Arcand centers the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and has strengths that can be mobilized for change. She views the therapeutic relationship as a meaningful space where questions about what’s wrong, how it developed, and what can be done are explored together. Drawing on multiple clinical approaches, she tailors interventions to meet individual needs and supports clients through the process of change. She is available to support people as they take the often difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches Suited for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape the ways people connect and trust others. In practice it helps address relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and patterns that affect intimacy and family bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration. This approach supports self-exploration and builds self-esteem and motivation by following the client’s pace and priorities, making it useful for people facing stress, life transitions, or questions about identity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to develop coping strategies for everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and greater access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are not possible.
