About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau is a licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on 16 years of practice to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She works with clients who are dealing with career pressures, grief, addiction, and low self-esteem. Jacqueline uses practical methods so conversations lead to real changes.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on improving communication and building coping skills that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She helps people untangle relationship dynamics and regain a sense of direction after big changes. Jacqueline blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means she listens closely, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and teaches ways to calm the body and mind.
Motivational interviewing and narrative work are used to strengthen motivation and reframe personal stories when helpful. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, blended family issues, and addiction concerns. Jacqueline pays attention to how these challenges affect daily routines, mood, and relationships, and she helps clients develop manageable steps forward.
In sessions she usually sets clear, achievable goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Her aim is to help people build skills they can use outside sessions - better communication, healthier coping, and clearer priorities. Jacqueline practices in Wisconsin as an LMFT and conducts work in English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jacqueline often uses client-centered therapy, which means she focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide practical next steps for daily life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT, which identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then helps replace them with more helpful habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with stressful situations.
Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to teach simple practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Those techniques are practical for managing anger, stress, chronic pain, and overwhelming emotions.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Jacqueline works with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most. That collaborative process starts in the first sessions and continues throughout care.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions or live chat can be useful when shorter check-ins are needed or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
