Jacqueline Hendrickson

Jacqueline Hendrickson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 33 years of professional experience and a steady, patient manner to conversations about stress, grief, relationships, and life changes. She encourages people to take the first step and recognizes how hard that can feel.

Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical social work earned in 1985 and continuous practice since then. That long experience has shaped a straightforward, conversational style. She aims to make sessions a place where people can say what’s on their mind without judgment.

Jacqueline uses approaches that center the client’s story and goals. She draws from client-centered and narrative ideas to listen to personal meaning, and from solution-focused and psychodynamic thinking to identify patterns and practical next steps. Sessions often mix reflection about past experiences with concrete strategies for today.

Many people come to her for help with anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, parenting strain, and career stress. She also addresses issues like sleep problems, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work often focuses on helping people rebuild connection and a sense of purpose.

Jacqueline aims to collaborate on manageable goals and small changes. She supports people who want clearer communication, better boundaries, or relief from persistent worry. Her approach is steady, direct, and rooted in listening.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name priorities and make choices. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling isolated.

Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. Sessions look at how those stories shape feelings and behavior, and then explore alternative stories that support change. That method can help with shame, life purpose questions, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what’s helpful and adapts the plan as things evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter check-in on a lunch break or between errands. It can also let someone engage in talking through grief, loneliness, or relationship concerns from a convenient location. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
