Collaborative strengths-based therapist focused on growth

About Jacqueline

Jacqueline (Jacqui) Taub practices from a client-centered framework that highlights each person's strengths and priorities. As an LCSW licensed in Illinois, she blends collaborative, strengths-based work with structured techniques to address stress, anxiety, eating concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert in their life while offering tools to build motivation and confidence. With eight years of clinical experience, Jacqui works with issues commonly faced by young adults and those navigating identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns, body image, communication problems, and isolation.

She integrates practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients shift unhelpful patterns and clarify meaningful goals.

Jacqui aims to make beginning therapy approachable; she acknowledges how much courage it takes to start and supports clients as they develop skills for self-love, healthier workplace and relationship interactions, and greater life purpose. Her practice in Illinois also accepts international clients, and she offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Jacqueline commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on their strengths, which helps with issues like self-esteem, identity, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for stress, anxiety, and eating-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline partners with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful; together they can blend supportive listening with skill-building exercises as needed to create a tailored plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or location are barriers, and choose the format that best supports a client's comfort and pace.
