About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Hayes is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on common struggles of early adulthood and beyond, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, parenting questions, and career concerns.
She helps people who feel stuck after big life changes, who worry about money or work direction, or who struggle with focus and impulsivity such as ADHD. Jacqueline also supports those facing grief, addiction challenges, anger, and intimacy-related issues. Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment concerns, and communication problems.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions focus on the issues you bring and on skills you can use between meetings. She adjusts conversations and plans to reflect each person’s situation and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.
Jacqueline draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders and coping skills. She works with people on managing symptoms of bipolar disorder, navigating divorce or separation, and handling caregiver stress and feelings of isolation.
People who choose her often want clear steps and tools to try between sessions. She guides discussions about life purpose, money worries, forgiveness, and guilt so clients can make decisions that feel right for them.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide therapy in accessible ways. One approach focuses on skill-building for mood and anxiety management, teaching practical strategies for stress reduction, emotional regulation, and improving daily routines. This is useful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, or bipolar mood challenges.Another common approach emphasizes attachment and relationship patterns. Sessions examine how past relationships shape current communication and intimacy, and then practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase understanding. This method can help with abandonment concerns, trust issues, and relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful, so the plan can shift if something isn’t working.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around classes, shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online appointments easier to keep during busy weeks and a good way to bring therapy into everyday life without reshaping their whole schedule.
