Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub

Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and struggles with eating and self-esteem. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and centers the person in the room. She encourages clients to use their own strengths to move through problems and sees the decision to start therapy as an important step.

Jacqui has eight years of professional experience working with teens and young adults on motivation, confidence, and related life transitions. She aims to make sessions practical and action-oriented while keeping the client’s goals in view. She listens for values and strengths to build personalized steps forward.

Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to honor the client's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings mindfulness techniques to help with moment-to-moment awareness and emotional regulation. These approaches are blended to match each person’s needs.

In sessions she often focuses on concrete skills - managing worry, improving body image, and handling workplace or relationship stress. She also supports exploration around sexuality, self-love, and life purpose when those areas come up. Many people find this mix helpful when loneliness or social isolation is part of the struggle.

Jacqui works from Illinois and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.

How Jacqui blends approaches for online support

Jacqui uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s own perspective and values. This means sessions start by listening closely and following what matters most to the person, which works well for exploring loneliness, identity, and motivation.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT offers concrete exercises and steps to reduce worry, change eating-related habits, and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqui will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the mix as needs change so therapy stays focused and useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier by reducing travel and helping therapy fit into a busy day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or use techniques that work well without long in-person meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and skill-building tasks to an online setting to help clients move toward their goals.
