    About Jacqueline

    Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck with eating concerns, self-esteem, and motivation. Jacqui speaks English and works with young adults and teens in ways that respect each person's own story and strengths.

    Jacqui uses a client-centered style that keeps the person at the center of the process. She listens first, then helps people notice what matters to them and where they want to head. Motivational Interviewing is one of the tools she uses to build motivation for change without pressure.

    She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try practical shifts in behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm the body and refocus attention when worry or stress gets loud. Solution-focused methods help set small, manageable goals and track progress over time.

    Jacqui has eight years of professional experience and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She emphasizes respect for the client's pace and invites curiosity about what will work best. The tone in sessions is straightforward and supportive, with a focus on concrete changes and clearer thinking.

    To begin, she asks people to reflect on their priorities and strengths. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with room for exploring identity, body image, relationships, and life direction as those topics arise.

  2. How Jacqui’s Approaches Work Online

    Jacqui blends Motivational Interviewing with client-centered and CBT ideas to guide online work. Motivational Interviewing involves listening for a person’s own reasons to change and building motivation in a gentle way, which can help with eating concerns, motivation, and commitment issues. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and goals, creating space for identity, self-love, and relationship topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact and offers concrete steps to shift patterns linked to anxiety and workplace stress.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jacqui will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She works collaboratively to try methods that fit the individual and adjusts the plan as needed.
