About Jaclene

Jaclene Newell is a licensed professional counselor who blends relationship-focused methods with practical therapy approaches. She offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling worn out, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.

Background and approach

Jaclene meets clients with kindness and straightforward care so they can begin to feel steadier in daily life. Jaclene draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties.

She uses approaches such as the Gottman Method to address relationship and intimacy concerns, and mixes cognitive behavioral strategies to help shift habits and thinking that increase distress. Her work also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based techniques when those fit a client's needs.

In sessions she focuses on simple, usable tools that help with sleep, eating, impulse control, and managing intense emotions. She also supports people navigating life changes, career strain, parenting struggles, and symptoms related to ADHD or bipolar disorder.

Jaclene pays attention to how health conditions, chronic pain, or overlapping diagnoses shape day-to-day life. Her style is warm and relational while remaining practical.

Clients can expect clear goals, small steps toward change, and time to process hard emotions without pressure. Jaclene sees therapy as a collaborative journey toward more manageable days and clearer relationships.

Jaclene is licensed in Wisconsin as an LPC. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by arrangement.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches for Online Relationship and Life Work

Jaclene uses the Gottman Method to help people address conflict, communication, and intimacy concerns in relationships. That approach focuses on practical skills for listening, managing fights, and rebuilding connection so couples and partners can make clearer, calmer choices together. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which centers on noticing hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then taking actions that align with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Finally, attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and closeness, helping people shift patterns that undermine trust and security.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jaclene will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then blend methods as needed. She invites clients to try tools in real life and checks in about what helps so the plan can change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls support deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or moments when typing feels easier, and these options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused therapy that fits a person's schedule and needs.
