About Jacquelyn
Jacquelyn "Jackie" Taylor-Mays is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and ADHD. Jackie values each person's strengths and works alongside them as they begin change.

Background and approach
Her approach centers on clear collaboration. Jackie listens first, then helps set goals you can try between sessions. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to tackle thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to improve how people connect with others. For people navigating relationship patterns, those perspectives can clarify where patterns started and how to change them. Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, guided discussions about patterns, and concrete steps to practice afterward.
Jackie frames therapy as a team effort and offers steady support while people try new ways of coping. Her style is straightforward, warm, and focused on useful change.
Approaches online and what to expect
Jacquelyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical and often focuses on skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions and intimacy, which can help people change repeated patterns in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. The process is a conversation about what feels useful and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier around work, school, or caregiving. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins, video calls allow face-to-face conversation, and messaging or chat can be useful for quick thoughts or when bandwidth is limited. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
