Jacquelyn Johnson is an LCPC practicing in Maryland who focuses on relationships and complex emotional challenges.

In sessions she prioritizes helping people build self-love, repair communication patterns, and reduce feelings of isolation. She pays attention to how shame, guilt, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination affect daily life. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Jacquelyn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to offer concrete tools for mood regulation, coping with trauma, and changing unhelpful thinking. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to keep the work collaborative and focused on the client’s goals.

Her background includes 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through addiction, chronic illness, postpartum struggles, and attachment challenges. She integrates practical skill-building with empathetic listening so people can apply what they learn between sessions.

People who work with her typically focus on improving relationships, managing bipolar symptoms or anger, and finding purpose after big life shifts. She works in Maryland and conducts sessions in English. To start, readers can follow the site’s matching and scheduling process to connect and set goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead so they feel heard and understood; this helps when people are figuring out relationship goals or healing from shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can ease anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, useful for anger, bipolar mood regulation, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan together over time. Sessions are collaborative, and techniques are introduced at a pace that fits each person’s needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around busy days and fewer barriers to keeping appointments. If you prefer to check scheduling and session options before you book, confirm the available formats during the matching step. Online work can let people practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into conversations for timely feedback.
