About Jaclyn

LCSW, LISW in New Jersey with 12 years of experience, Jaclyn Hernandez helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, and depression. She emphasizes practical work in sessions and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Jaclyn speaks English and practices in New Jersey. She does not accept international clients.

Jaclyn works from the view that each person knows their story best. In sessions she listens for strengths clients already use and then helps apply those strengths to current problems. Conversations focus on clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theory. She aims to make the work feel concrete and actionable.

Her experience includes supporting people facing substance use and food-related problems alongside mood concerns. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Jaclyn pays attention to how these issues overlap so treatment can address more than one problem at a time.

Sessions may involve exploring habits, trying new coping skills between meetings, and reviewing what worked and what did not. The approach is collaborative - the client’s goals guide the plan. Progress is tracked through small, measurable steps so changes are visible over time.

Practical matters are discussed up front. Jaclyn uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary with location. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions

Jaclyn bases her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, using methods that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as step-by-step breathing, activity planning, and behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. These tools are useful for daily stress and worry.

She also applies methods that target addictive behaviors and eating concerns by examining patterns and building alternative habits. This often means breaking problems into smaller parts, tracking triggers and responses, and trying different strategies to reduce harmful behaviors over time. That method helps people see which changes stick and which need adjustment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaclyn works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review what helps and change the plan if needed, so the work evolves from session to session.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, or reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt homework and check-ins to work well across different formats, helping the work continue between appointments.
