About Jacklyn
Jacklyn Kenny Rothenberger is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical work that helps people change patterns that cause harm and distress. Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented.

Background and approach
Jacklyn uses a strengths-based outlook that highlights personal resources and resilience. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions tend to be hands-on, with strategies to try between meetings.
Her background includes work with substance and process addictions and with people affected by infidelity and post-traumatic stress. She also brings experience around veterans and armed forces issues and supports women navigating life transitions. This variety shapes a practical style focused on real-world change.
Clients can expect clear goals and tools they can use day to day. Jacklyn encourages honest conversation and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She offers care in English and practices in Virginia as an LMFT.

Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Jacklyn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and building emotion regulation. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Dialectical behavior skills teach practical steps for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving problem-solving in moments of crisis.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what matters most, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. Goal-setting and regular check-ins guide decisions about which tools to emphasize.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins during a busy day, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and recovery routines while keeping care consistent.
