Getting to know Jacqueline Dotson

Hi there, I'm Jacqueline! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Sacramento, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the Silver School of Social Work. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life transitions using Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, and EMDR. My approach My therapy style is practical and straightforward. I ask direct questions and prefer down-to-earth communication. If you prefer New Age spiritual approaches, I am not the therapist for you, as those do not resonate with me. However, if you're interested in straightforward, real-world approaches to your concerns, let's talk. My focus I work mainly with adults, especially Generation X and Millennials, facing life stressors, transitions, and identity changes. This often shows as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients navigate transitions and build better interpersonal boundaries and skills to manage modern life’s demands and constant changes. My communication style I communicate directly and authentically, using regular language. I create a non-judgmental space where clients explore their thoughts and beliefs to see if they still fit their current lives. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I love deep conversations, uncovering new ideas, and exploring different ways of living and communicating. These simple methods, when applied consistently, can cause huge transformation in short periods—a valuable skill in today’s world. My goals for you I work with clients to define what they want to accomplish during our time together.
