Jacqueline Arcand, LCSW

Jacqueline Arcand is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Arizona with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Jacqueline also helps with grief, self-esteem, bipolar mood issues, and struggles tied to identity and LGBT concerns.

She frames therapy around practical questions: what went wrong, how it got that way, and what can be done next. Jacqueline uses straightforward conversation to improve motivation, confidence, and coping. She treats attachment issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, and problems related to abandonment or adoption and foster care.

Her work draws on several therapy approaches so conversations can match the issue at hand. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person's lead and cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based and narrative techniques and EMDR when trauma work is appropriate.

Sessions focus on clarifying goals and trying small changes people can use between meetings. Jacqueline talks through options and helps people weigh practical steps that fit their lives. She pays attention to real-world pressures like work, family demands, and health or substance use concerns.

People who come to Jacqueline often want concrete skills and clearer direction. She supports exploration of difficult feelings, works through grief or loss, and addresses struggles that come from past relationships or stressful events. Her approach aims to make progress understandable and usable in day-to-day life.
