About Jacqueline

Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub practices from a client-centered perspective. She focuses on helping people reduce stress and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and address eating and body image concerns. Jacqui is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings eight years of experience to her work.

Background and approach

Her approach blends tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness skills are used to calm the body and steady attention when anxiety or self-doubt rises.

Jacqui also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. These methods help people find their own reasons for change and build simple steps toward those goals. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what works for each person.

She has worked with concerns related to relationships, sexuality, LGBT issues, workplace stress, and young adult transitions. Jacqui aims to create a space where people can talk through commitment issues, communication problems, jealousy, or feelings of isolation. Her style is straightforward and warm, focused on practical change and self-compassion.

Online support

Using practical approaches in online therapy

Jacqui draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness can help when anxiety or intense emotions make it hard to focus or sleep.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqui will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether breath-based practices, thought work, or short solution-focused steps are the best next move.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is helpful for a more face-to-face experience, while phone works well for lower bandwidth or when screen time is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, goal tracking, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These options aim to make ongoing work more flexible and sustainable for people juggling school, work, or caregiving.
