Jacqueline Arcand, LCSW

Jacqueline Arcand is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience. She practices in Alaska and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and related issues.

Jacqueline focuses on practical, straightforward work aimed at increasing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She treats clients as experts on their own stories and helps them name what’s troubling them. Sessions are used to look at what led to current difficulties and what steps a person can take next.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and narrative methods. That mix lets her address both present-day patterns and painful memories. She uses techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and to reframe personal stories that keep people stuck.

Jacqueline has experience helping with codependency, attachment fractures, addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with major life changes. She also works with concerns like abandonment, family-of-origin problems, first responder stress, and immigration-related strain.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process where goals and steps are talked through plainly. Her work is practical rather than vague. She encourages small, doable changes and tracks progress so people can see how things shift over time.
