About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Baker is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, FL LMHC, with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, addiction, anger, and life transitions. She practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people understand patterns that keep causing distress. Sessions focus on current concerns such as anger that comes out at work or at home, trouble managing impulses, or stubborn resentment that won’t go away. She also addresses issues tied to trauma, substance use, and self-worth.

Her methods draw from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then helps people test small changes and skills in day-to-day life. Clients should expect a mix of discussion, skills practice, and homework when that fits the goal.

Jacqueline has worked across settings for two decades, helping people who face complicated family of origin problems, codependency, communication difficulties, and the stress that can come with first responder roles. She also supports people exploring gender and relationship styles, including polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements.

Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Jacqueline uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely to what matters most to the client and responds without judgment. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps you can test and change, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. DBT focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating stress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that match the problem, and adjust plans over time. That collaborative stance helps pick which skills and exercises will be most useful for anger at work, impulsivity, or relationship tension.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let them practice skills between meetings. Online work can make it simpler to bring real-life examples into sessions and to test grounding or breathing exercises where they usually happen.
