About Jacquetta
Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, and relationship problems. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, blended family issues, substance concerns, and attention-related challenges.
Her approach adapts to how a person prefers to work. Some clients want straightforward guidance. Others prefer more space to talk things out. She emphasizes clear listening and practical steps rather than jargon or long theory talks.
In sessions she focuses on identifying patterns and testing small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can help with strong emotions and stress management.
She also brings client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s goals and pace. Mindfulness practices are used to ground moments of worry and overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or wants to strengthen commitment.
Jacquetta has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, family of origin issues, aging concerns, chronic illness, and domestic violence. Her background includes supporting those coping with grief, career transitions, and intimacy-related challenges. She aims to help people untangle complicated feelings and take practical next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and pace. It means the therapist listens to what matters most and adjusts the conversation to the person’s needs. This approach helps when someone is sorting priorities in a busy blended household.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and trying out small, concrete changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that come from daily routines and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be practical when tensions rise around co-parenting or role changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where feedback guides the plan.

They can also let someone choose whether to be on camera, which can help with clearer focus or lower bandwidth needs depending on the situation.
