About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Zdravkovski is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, self-esteem concerns, grief, sleep problems and anger. Jacqueline also works with career questions, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice what keeps them stuck. Sessions focus on understanding triggers, learning simple skills, and practising new ways to respond. Jacqueline draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to guide this work.
Jacqueline helps people talk through communication problems, control issues and impulsivity. She also addresses family of origin issues, caregiving stress, codependency and separation concerns. Clients explore forgiveness, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness in a direct, matter-of-fact way.
Her style emphasises collaboration and real-life tools rather than long theory talks. People leave sessions with practical strategies they can try between appointments. Jacqueline encourages small, achievable steps for change.
If someone is booking for the first time they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Jacqueline uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and take values-based action. It is useful for anxiety, anger and life changes when repeated worry or avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions. It suits concerns like sleep problems, anxiety and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with relationship tension and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods to try based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Jacqueline uses practical tools from ACT and CBT that translate well to online conversations, and she helps people plan small exercises to practise between appointments.
