About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn Golden Lane is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people untangle day-to-day stress, manage mood struggles, and find clearer coping strategies. She often supports people who are navigating grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, or life changes that feel overwhelming.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals. Sessions aim to build skills for anxiety, sleep problems, addictive behaviors, ADHD-related challenges, and workplace strain.
Background and approach
The tone is calm and direct, with attention to what will make life easier between sessions. Jacquelyn draws from several ways of working rather than a single method. She uses client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Emotion-focused ideas guide conversations about close relationships and attachment, and she weaves mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful. Clients can expect conversations about practical tools, thought patterns, and small behavior changes. Jacquelyn also helps people sort competing demands such as caregiving, chronic health stress, or career pressure.
She talks through pacing and manageable steps so change does not feel impossible. Based in Michigan, she offers sessions in English and welcomes people from other locations. Her long experience includes work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and end-of-life concerns.
The emphasis is on steady progress and realistic, useful strategies.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy means the work begins with the person's priorities and moves at their pace; online sessions let that conversation happen in whatever format feels most comfortable whether video, phone, chat, or text. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online sessions can include worksheets, short homework tasks, and real-time practice during a call or message exchange. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people clarify and map important relationship feelings and patterns, which can be explored in video sessions or through focused text exchanges when people want to process in writing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they try methods, check if they work, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits everyday life.
Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes between sessions, journal updates, or quick coaching when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health demands.
