Jacqueline Meredith, LMHC

Jacqueline Meredith is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. She works with clients who are coping with life changes, relationship strains, addiction, grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Jacqueline aims to create an affirming, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Her sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She uses clear tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, doable shifts. Emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior therapy and relational work informed by emotionally-focused therapy are also part of her toolbox.

Jacqueline has helped people build routines for better sleep, work through parenting stresses, and sort through career decisions. She also supports those facing body image concerns, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and challenges tied to adoption or attachment wounds. Her practice includes attention to intimacy-related concerns and LGBT issues without assuming one path fits everyone.

Clients can expect a collaborative pair of hands-on sessions that mix skill practice with space to tell their story. Jacqueline draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories need a focused approach, alongside conversational strategies for everyday coping. She practices in Florida as an LMHC and conducts work in English.

Therapeutic approaches explained for online work

Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are intense. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes action that matters rather than only changing thoughts.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and problems like sleep or eating that respond well to structured skill practice.

Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete tools for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can help with strong mood swings, anger, relationship conflict, and situations where managing intense feelings is a priority.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means trying an approach, checking in, and shifting course if something isn't a good match.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use tools learned in sessions in the same settings where they live and work, which can speed up practice and progress.
