Jacquetta Mcghie, LCSW

Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She also supports those facing addiction, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and aging and geriatric issues. Her tone is practical and direct, aimed at people who want clear steps and steady support.

She works in a client-centered way that lets each person set the pace. Some clients want guidance and structure, and others prefer a looser, reflective style. Sessions focus on untangling hard feelings, handling upsetting memories, and building skills to cope with everyday strain.

Jacquetta uses a mix of approaches to meet real problems. She pulls from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to help people stay present. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to create achievable goals and keep momentum.

Her method is collaborative and plainspoken. She asks what matters most, suggests practical steps, and adjusts as progress is made. Work may include practicing new communication, planning for life transitions, or developing strategies for mood and anger.

Jacquetta has 14 years of experience in social work and brings steady clinical judgment to sessions. She supports English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jacquetta uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and shaping sessions around what the client needs. This helps people feel heard and stay in charge of the process. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to change unhelpful patterns.

She also applies dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and stay grounded. These skills can be taught and practiced in conversation and between-session exercises, so they adapt to an online setting. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life demands.

The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy schedule without long commutes. Online work can make it easier to keep consistent appointments, try brief check-ins when needed, and practice skills between meetings.
