About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with over three decades of practice. She earned a Master of Social Work in 1985 and has provided ongoing clinical care since then. Jacqueline emphasizes a calm, straightforward approach for people facing stressful life moments.
She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and trouble sleeping. Parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, career struggles, and compassion fatigue are also part of her practice. Jacqueline aims to make sessions a place where people can say what they need to say without feeling judged.
Her style is open and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients notice patterns in their stories and daily life. Jacqueline draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current reactions, and she uses solution-focused methods when people want short-term, practical goals.
Clients can expect conversations that balance feeling heard with concrete steps to try between sessions. She often works on improving communication, managing control or guilt, and easing isolation. Jacqueline also brings experience supporting issues across the lifespan, including aging and postpartum concerns.
Her long experience means she can adapt her pace to what each person needs. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps pick a clear starting point and sets reasonable goals together.
Approaches and how they inform online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping people find their own answers; it’s useful for building confidence and handling relationship or parenting strain. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by retelling the story in new ways, which can ease shame, guilt, and isolation.Those approaches are often paired with Psychodynamic ideas about how past patterns affect present reactions, so sessions can include gentle reflection on recurring themes. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix feels right based on needs, goals, and preferences. Figuring out the best fit is treated as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also helps people try different ways of working - a reflective conversation one week and a quick problem-solving check the next - so therapy can match everyday life without promising a specific format.
