Carline Jacques, LMHC

Carline Jacques is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her work emphasizes understanding the person behind the symptoms and creating steps that feel doable in daily life.

Clients can expect a warm, respectful approach that centers their values and goals. She listens for what matters most and helps people name patterns in their thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to build clearer communication, more reliable coping skills, and a steadier sense of purpose.

Carline uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space where people lead the pace and topics of work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. These approaches are used to address mood concerns, attachment difficulties, body image issues, substance use, chronic pain and illness, and related challenges.

Her background includes ongoing work with mood disorders, attachment issues, and substance-related concerns. She brings attention to cultural context and aims to make therapy relevant to each person’s life. The focus is on building real skills that translate to everyday situations.

People wanting to start are guided through a straightforward intake and matching process. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Practical approaches to thoughts and everyday habits

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps create a space where people can talk without judgment. This approach helps when someone needs to rebuild self-trust, clarify values, or work through relationship and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily routines and habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what you want to change and what feels workable for you.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, cut down travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between in-person commitments and for building skills directly into everyday routines.
