About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tasca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. She works with adults facing grief, depression, addiction, trauma, and life changes. Jacqueline brings two decades of practical social work experience to conversations that can feel hard to start.
She earned her Master of Social Work from Adelphi University and practiced as a social work director for several years before returning to direct counseling.
Background and approach
That move came from a desire for more time talking with people one-on-one. Her background includes work in palliative care, cancer and chronic illness counseling, and caregiver support. Jacqueline focuses on building rapport first.
She listens closely and uses a warm, nonjudgmental style so people feel heard. From there she often uses solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral approaches to set clear steps for change. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented.
Jacqueline helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries small experiments to shift those patterns. She combines mindful techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or intense stress is part of the problem.
People who come to her for help with parenting strain, blended family issues, body image, or coping after loss find conversations that are straightforward and supportive. Jacqueline aims to help people build skills they can use outside sessions and to move toward clearer choices and calmer responses.

How Jacqueline's approaches translate to online work
Jacqueline draws on client-centered therapy to put the person's experience first, listening and responding to what matters most in their life. This approach helps when someone needs emotional support, clearer priorities, or a space to feel heard.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger patterns, and sleep or eating concerns. When strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present, she may bring in skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps clients feel involved in the path forward.
Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging are useful for quick skill practice, written reflections, or flexible scheduling. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy or changing routines.
