She is passionate about creating a strong therapeutic alliance with her clients and empowering clients to challenge irrational thoughts using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy (REBT). As an experienced journalist, Jacalyn utilizes Narrative Therapy to help clients “rewrite” their life story, separating their problems from who they really are, reflecting their strength and their purpose.
