About Jacqueline
LCSW in Illinois with 15 years of experience, Jacqueline Kipfer helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. She offers practical, talk-based work aimed at improving coping and day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on achievable steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory.
Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose values-guided actions, and practice small behavior changes. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused, with exercises and homework when useful.
Many people bring workplace stress, caregiving strain, or trouble with communication. Jacqueline also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, and smoking or vaping cessation. She frames these concerns as practical problems to be worked on together rather than labels to be judged.
Her style is conversational and responsive. Jacqueline listens for what matters most to each person and suggests concrete skills to try between sessions. Progress is tracked through short check-ins and adjustments to the plan as needed.
To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted and sessions are provided in English.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes by shifting focus from fighting thoughts to living by what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes practical exercises and short homework tasks to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The first sessions typically clarify priorities and agree on concrete steps to try. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It also supports using written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, or guided practice between meetings to keep progress moving without requiring extra trips.Sheet 3
