Jacqueline Baiada, LCSW

Jacqueline Baiada is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience helping adults and couples navigate relationship and life challenges. She practices from North Carolina and speaks English and Danish. Jacqueline mixes practical techniques with a direct, caring style to help people make real changes.

She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, and trauma from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Jacqueline also supports those coping with grief, PTSD, life transitions, ADHD, and first responder concerns. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and infidelity are common topics she addresses.

Her approach blends solution-focused work with trauma-focused and cognitive behavioral ideas, plus narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while also examining how past experiences shape present choices. Jacqueline balances challenge with empathy to move people toward practical steps.

Jacqueline has worked in a range of settings across her 30-year career. That background helps her adapt methods to different needs and situations. She often mixes short-term tools with deeper, longer-term work when it feels useful.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on availability.

How Jacqueline’s Approaches Work Online

Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide online work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises, which can be assigned between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on managing reactions to past traumatic events and building safer ways to cope in daily life.

She also uses elements of Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. That approach helps when past experiences keep showing up in relationships and choices. Together the therapist and client choose which methods fit the person’s goals and current situation in a collaborative way.

Online sessions make it easier to keep that collaboration going.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
