Jacquetta Mcghie, LCSW

Jacquetta Mcghie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns including jealousy. She works with people facing parenting challenges, addiction issues, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and career transitions. Her approach also includes support for people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles.

She brings 14 years of experience and listens first to understand where each person is. She adjusts how much direction she offers based on what someone needs in the moment. Some people want practical steps and structure. Others need space to name painful feelings and be heard.

Jacquetta uses straightforward techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing tools to help people notice patterns and make changes that matter to them.

Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. She helps people untangle family-of-origin issues, abandonment wounds, blended family strain, and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, adoption and foster care histories, and fatherhood concerns.

Her style is collaborative and calm. She invites vulnerability while keeping the pace manageable. People who choose her can expect practical conversations, steady support, and a focus on steps that fit everyday life.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Client-centered work focuses on listening, empathy, and following what matters most to the person. It helps people who need a steady, supportive space to sort through feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It is useful for stress, depression, and many day-to-day problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be helpful for anger, intense mood swings, and building better coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods that fit those priorities. That process is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit feels difficult. The biography did not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. Many people appreciate the way remote sessions let them practice skills in real life and bring questions to the next meeting.
