About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 14 years of experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as addiction, ADHD, and parenting strain.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then offers direction when it helps. Some people want step-by-step strategies. Others prefer to talk things through more freely. She adjusts her approach to what each person needs in the moment.
Jacquetta uses a mix of commonly used methods to help people manage difficult feelings and reactions. She draws on client-centered work to center the person’s goals, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that feed anger or anxiety. She also brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practice for emotion regulation and moment-to-moment coping.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills - recognizing triggers, slowing escalation, and practicing different responses. She also addresses underlying issues like trauma, grief, or family of origin patterns when those are part of the problem. The work balances short-term coping tools with deeper exploration as needed.
Her tone in the room is direct and steady. She aims to help people make changes that fit everyday life, whether that means handling stress at work, reducing snapping at loved ones, or coping with another person’s anger. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Jacquetta uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the person, which guides the agenda for sessions. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into concrete steps, which often turn into short exercises people can practice between meetings.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills are practical and can be coached over remote sessions, helping people learn how to pause, notice urges, and try different responses when anger rises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide whether more skills training, thought work, or deeper exploration fits their goals. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to current needs and preferences.
