Depression, anxiety, transitions, relationship issues and crises of all kinds are part of life. While school teaches us how to think, we do not necessarily learn how to deal with our emotions, relationships, changing situations and the difficulties that life presents us with at many turns.
As a therapist/coach/emotion educator, I work with individuals, couples and families who deal with emotional, relationship and situational issues. I work well with people in crisis and transitions. And I teach skills that will help deal with these situations in the future.

Discussing your mental health should be an ongoing conversation. While it can be nerve-racking, it's important to identify someone you feel comfortable with to start the conversation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) who believes that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected. I approach therapy with sensitivity to culture, gender identity, religious and spiritual beliefs, and sexual orientation, recognizing that these aspects of identity deeply shape lived experiences, relationships, and mental health.

As human beings we are born with an innate need to connect to others. Healthy attachments in our early lives are necessary, since we internalize these secure attachments and develop a healthy sense of self. When there are disruptions in early attachments, we risk internalizing negative experiences, which can create internal conflict. If you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety & depression that impact your daily functioning, we offer a safe, supportive, nonjudgemental space where together, we explore how passed or present unresolved internal or external conflict is keeping you stuck. You don't have to stay stuck!

Hi, I’m Jacqueline Stevens, LCSW.
I work with individuals navigating life transitions, stress, and periods of feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. Many of my clients are high-functioning and capable, yet feel overwhelmed, unsure of themselves, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit their lives.
You may find yourself questioning old coping strategies, noticing burnout, or realizing you’ve been prioritizing others at the expense of your own well-being. Therapy is a space to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with who you are beneath expectations and roles.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
