Jacquetta Mcghie , LCSW

Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 14 years of professional experience. She works with individuals and families across the lifespan, offering calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related difficulties. Her practice also includes focused work with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems, chronic illness and pain, and concerns tied to fatherhood and family of origin.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative - she meets people where they are and adapts the level of structure and guidance to each person’s needs. She values vulnerability and builds trust by walking alongside clients as they explore complicated feelings, past wounds, and present obstacles. Jacquetta emphasizes client agency, placing the person in the driver’s seat while offering direction when needed to help unravel patterns and develop coping strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jacquetta integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, which helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen personal goals. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT provides clear strategies to manage intense emotions and reduce reactive patterns while supporting long-term change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacquetta collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
