Jacqueline Worthington

Hi, I'm Jackie and I am so glad you are here. Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders while trying to convince everyone you're okay?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply unsure of what comes next, you're not alone. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support.

My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can finally exhale—a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe healing begins when we have a safe space to share our story without judgment. My role isn't to tell you how to live your life, but to walk alongside you as we make sense of what's weighing on your heart and help you reconnect with the strength and resilience you may have forgotten you have.

I take a warm, down-to-earth, and person-centered approach because I believe every person's journey is unique. Together, we'll build on your strengths, work through challenges, and find practical strategies that fit your life and goals.

I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, burnout, workplace stress, career changes, executive functioning challenges, chronic illness, retirement, caregiving, and other seasons of change.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning after time away, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Whatever brought you here, there is hope—and you don't have to face it alone.

My approach is integrative, drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strengths-based practices, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I take a whole-person approach to counseling, recognizing that emotional well-being is influenced by many interconnected factors. Together, we explore challenges, identify strengths, clarify values, and develop practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable, collaborative relationship. We'll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you're currently facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There's no pressure to share everything at once—we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I'll ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, and goals while giving you plenty of space to ask questions and share what's most important to you. Together, we'll begin identifying practical next steps and create a plan that supports your goals. My hope is that you'll leave your first session feeling heard, understood, and encouraged that positive change is possible.
