About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Oshiver is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in New Jersey with 40 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses and relational problems, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career or parenting strain.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person and their goals at the center of the work. Jacqueline draws from cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to help with relationship and intimacy concerns and mindfulness practices to support regulation and stress reduction.
Her background includes long clinical practice and university teaching. That experience shapes a practical approach to therapy that links thinking, feelings, and everyday behavior. Jacqueline names the interaction between psychological life and larger meaning as part of how she helps people make sense of difficult events.
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. She helps people talk through grief and loss, work stress, codependency, caregiver strain, and problems tied to family of origin. Jacqueline also works with issues such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue when they affect daily life.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools from CBT and motivational interviewing, and emotional work drawn from psychodynamic and emotionally focused ideas. Her approach emphasizes choices people can try between sessions and attention to how relationships influence feeling and behavior.
BHow sessions work
How Jacqueline combines approaches in online work
Jacqueline commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in session. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on the person's goals and experiences, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioral strategies look at patterns of thought and behavior and introduce practical exercises to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or depression.She also uses emotionally focused ideas for relationship and intimacy concerns. That approach helps people identify and name interaction patterns that create distance or conflict, and then practices different ways of responding to feel more connected. These methods often pair well with mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity.
Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work. Jacqueline will help figure out which approaches fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences through collaborative discussion and trial. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping in everyday life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, fewer days traveling to appointments, and the ability to practice skills in real-world moments between sessions.
