About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Rivers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where people can name what matters and decide what change looks like. Jacqueline works in New Mexico and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice.
She approaches challenges through a systems lens and attention to attachment patterns. That means she pays attention to relationships and how earlier bonds shape current reactions. She blends this with practical tools so people leave with things to try between sessions.
Jacqueline has helped people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship conflict. She also supports those coping with cancer, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. Her work includes attention to issues such as self-esteem, body image, fertility concerns, and career questions.
Her background includes a Master of Science in Family and Child Science with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, and a Bachelor of Science in Family and Human Development. She holds the New Mexico LMFT credential and has worked for a decade in a range of clinical settings.
Jacqueline uses EMDR alongside attachment-informed work and mindfulness exercises when they fit a person's needs. She aims to collaborate with each person on goals and strategies so therapy feels practical and relevant. To begin, people follow the practice's intake steps and schedule sessions based on availability.
How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping people set their own goals; online sessions let that same conversational, client-led work continue over distance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, and sessions often use questions and reflections to map those patterns and try new ways of relating. EMDR involves guided attention paired with memory processing techniques and can be adapted into remote formats when appropriate.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then suggest ways of working that match those needs. She adjusts methods over time so the plan fits how a person responds in session.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed or to meet from a quieter spot that suits the person. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
