Jacqueline Lizarazo, LCSW

Jacqueline Lizarazo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience. She offers direct, straightforward therapy and encourages people to identify strengths they can build on. Jacqueline frames therapy as a collaborative effort and emphasizes taking practical steps toward feeling better.

She uses a mix of approaches that include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. In sessions Jacqueline helps people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. She also addresses issues around self-esteem and depression in clear, goal-focused ways.

Jacqueline works with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, body image, chronic pain or illness, codependency, divorce and separation, and substance-related problems. She also supports people dealing with control problems, commitment doubts, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice-related stress. Her style balances honest feedback with practical tasks to try between sessions.

Her approach can include setting small homework tasks, checking progress each week, and sometimes tackling painful topics that lead to emotional breakthroughs. Jacqueline aims to be nonjudgmental while still challenging avoidance and unhelpful patterns. People who want direct guidance alongside supportive listening tend to find her approach familiar.

Jacqueline is based in Illinois and conducts therapy in English. She accepts international clients through the service's matching process. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How Jacqueline's approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. It helps people feel heard and shapes work around what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses simple exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, tolerance for distress, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjusts them based on progress and preference. That makes therapy feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time so people can prioritize care. Some formats use less bandwidth or let people check in without video, which can make shorter check-ins easier. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know which online methods are offered. Licensed professionals provide the sessions and will help match therapeutic tools to the person's goals and daily life.
