Jacquetta Mcghie, LCSW

Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also supports those facing addiction, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and life changes. Her approach is grounded in listening and practical steps, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more in control.

She combines a client-centered stance with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means she starts by hearing what matters to each person, then offers simple strategies to shift thinking and manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when useful.

Jacquetta describes her work as collaborative. She meets clients where they are and adapts to whether someone prefers more guidance or more space. Sessions focus on unpacking difficult feelings, building skills for everyday life, and setting goals that fit the person’s values and routine.

With 14 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including family of origin issues, abandonment, chronic illness, and blended family dynamics. Her practice pays attention to practical problems like communication breakdowns and commitment worries as well as deeper emotional pain.

She invites people who are ready to make a change to take a first step. The work is paced to the individual, and the aim is to help people move toward greater calm, clearer choices, and more satisfying relationships.

How these approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and understood while setting goals that matter to them. That approach helps when someone needs support processing emotions or figuring out relationship and family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical changes that alter mood and behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with chronic illness or addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and shifting course when needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so people can more easily keep regular appointments. If you plan to work online, confirm which session formats are available before booking so they match your schedule and technology. The focus is on making therapy fit daily life while using the approaches above to address symptoms and everyday problems.
