Therapists in Middletown, NY

First, let me say I'm here for you. You've taken the first steps toward dealing with the issues that are giving you difficulty and I know this is not easy. So, good for you. My name is Jacqueline Tasca. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New York. I received my masters in social work from Adelphi University. I've worked as a social work director for a number of years previously but I stopped because I really preferred more face to face time with my patients. I got so much more from my time counseling than being in a management position. Over my 21 years as a social worker, I've come across many people with many issues and truly have enjoyed all of my experiences as they helped form the person I am, the therapist I am. Much of my experience is working with anxiety, depression, bereavement, parenting, couples counseling, coping with change, stress management, cancer and chronic illness counseling, palliative care counseling, caregiver support and community resource and referral. People always tell me that I'm a good listener. This is my greatest accomplishment and one I'm most proud of because as your therapist I want to HEAR you. I want to join you in your pain or difficulties and help you find your way through them. I may not have experienced what you have specifically gone through or are facing now, but I know how to find my way in to how you are feeling. Building a therapeutic rapport with you will be my first step. Trust needs to build and then most of my work is generally solution focused and cognitive-behavioral techniques. You will see that I am a caring, non-judgmental person. I would love the chance to help see you through your challenges. You've taken the first step!

Greetings- I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 29 years of experience in the field. I am also a licensed practical nurse and executive coach. My areas of focus in social work are stress, anxiety, workplace and career issues, women and leadership, and diversity. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy or talk therapy in my counseling approach. I have served on boards of not for profit organizations and been involved in the National Association of Social Work at the local, state and national level. All of this experience has made me an empathetic listener. I treat all with respect and the utmost confidentiality. Doing the work to reach your counseling goals is not easy. It will take work on your behalf, but think of it simply like running a marathon—it’s a mile at a time until you reach 26.2 miles at the finish line or climbing stairs to the twenty-sixth floor in an office building. But, just know I’ll be right there with you.

Hi! If you are exploring Better Help, it is likely that you are struggling with something significant in your life. Finding the right person to help you through these challenges is very important.

I want to provide some information about me in order to help you decide if my experience and style is the right match for you. I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience. I received an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Connecticut College, graduate degree in Social Work at Adelphi University (NY), and did post-graduate work at the Center of Modern Psychoanalysis (NY). I have been providing therapy in private practice, community mental health centers and agencies, I was Director of Social Work at a large social Services Agency where I managed therapy programs, supervised staff and supervised therapists in training. I also taught for many years in the graduate Departments of Social Work and Mental Health Counseling at Long Island University (NY), where my main teaching focus was on clinical training, supervision, diagnosis and treatment. I have experience in working with adults and senior adults with a wide array of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, sadness, mood disorders, personality disorders, social anxiety, frustration, self-esteem, life transitions, peer relationships, parenting, pre-marital preparation, marital and/or family conflict, divorce/separation adjustment, occupational and/or educational difficulties, caregiving, chronic illness, grief, and adjusting to the aging process. In 2020, I offered a series of webinars on COVID related stress and techniques to help minimize the anxiety. I’m trained in multiple therapy approaches so that I am better able to work in a flexible way and can more effectively meet your needs. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. I generally check messages here a few times a day, Monday-Sunday and respond as quickly as I can, most often within 24 hours. I look forward to hearing from you!
