About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also helps those managing relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her approach is practical and people-focused, aimed at helping clients feel more in control of day-to-day life.
With 14 years of experience, Jacquetta adapts how she works to each person. Some clients want clear direction and tools. Others need space to talk and make sense of feelings. She emphasizes vulnerability and trust while keeping clients in the driver’s seat as they work through complicated emotions.
In sessions she draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior ideas to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they help people move toward goals.
Her background includes long-term practice with a wide range of concerns, from adoption and family-of-origin issues to chronic illness and fatherhood matters. She has supported people coping with career shifts, commitment questions, and compassion fatigue. The tone is collaborative and goal-focused, with room for pacing that suits the client.
People looking for therapy are guided through a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit. Jacquetta works with individuals on concrete steps to reduce distress and increase resilience, helping clients translate insight into daily changes.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Jacquetta commonly draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness in her sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows what matters most to the person, helping them guide goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions to develop practical coping steps for anxiety, depression, and stress.Mindfulness tools are used to help with attention, emotional regulation, and grounding during hard moments. These approaches can be adapted to focus on relationship issues, grief, or managing strong reactions, depending on a person’s needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit best, adjusting techniques as goals change. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant.
