About Me

Jacqueline Scheidt, LCSW-S

I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. My goal is to create a warm and collaborative space where you feel supported and empowered as we work together to navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels meaningful and manageable for you. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people build greater confidence, resilience, and hope, even during life’s most difficult seasons. I understand that seeking support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make therapy feel like a partnership built on trust, compassion, and authenticity. My own life experiences have reinforced the importance of empathy and recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity, build practical tools, and reconnect with the version of yourself you want to become.

My Therapeutic Approach

1. Theoretical Orientation
My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also drawing from
mindfulness, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches. I believe therapy
should be tailored to the individual, integrating evidence-based practices with your
unique experiences, values, and goals to create meaningful and lasting change.

2. Therapy Style
I strive to create a space that feels warm, collaborative, and free of judgment, where
you can feel safe being your authentic self. I balance compassion with gentle honesty,
offering support while also helping you recognize patterns, build insight, and take
practical steps toward the life you want.
3. Change Process
I believe change happens when you feel safe enough to be yourself and know you don’t
have to figure everything out alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s been keeping you
stuck, build practical tools that fit your life, and take small, meaningful steps toward
feeling more like yourself.

4. Techniques & Modalities

My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness,
psychoeducation, and other evidence-based strategies, always tailored to your unique
needs and goals. Together, we’ll build practical skills you can use in everyday life while
recognizing the strengths you already have. My hope is that you’ll leave therapy feeling
more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to handle whatever life brings your
way.

Clinical Focus:

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem,
and difficulties with emotional regulation. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to
create a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build on your
strengths, gain confidence, and move forward with greater clarity and hope.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Education and Training

Availability: I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions Monday through Friday. To help
accommodate busy schedules, I also offer limited evening appointments.

Outside the Office:

When I’m not working, you can usually find me scoping out antique malls or thrift stores trying my best to justify adding yet another silly little trinket to my shelf.
