About Jacquelyn
Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and blended family issues. She offers straightforward support for people managing big life changes and ongoing pressures.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Psychology and an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology. Over two decades of practice have included work with domestic violence, child abuse, developmental disabilities, parenting skills, anger management, and crisis situations. She also lists experience supporting people through cancer, caregiver strain, and complicated grief.
In sessions she focuses on listening without judgment and providing practical tools and resources. She describes the therapeutic relationship as open and professional, and uses evidence-informed methods such as client-centered work and cognitive approaches to guide conversations. Expect straightforward talk, resource suggestions, and skills you can try between meetings.
Her experience as a bereaved parent, caregiver, survivor of serious illness, and someone who navigated divorce and remarriage informs her perspective. That life experience shapes how she talks about loyalty conflicts, changing household roles, and the practical pressures of stepfamily life.
People who want clear feedback, help with communication, or strategies for reducing stress in a blended household will find a direct, experienced clinician. She works in English and practices in Florida.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so people feel understood and can clarify priorities. It helps when someone needs empathy, clearer communication, and a place to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions. It is useful for stepfamily stress, anger, and coping with change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on short-term goals and small, actionable steps to change patterns that cause daily strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as problems evolve and progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the available biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when schedules require, and avoid travel time so people can use a break at work or a quiet hour at home. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises used in-session so they work well in remote conversations and help clients practice between meetings.
