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!

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp. Now that you have taken the first step to finding the right therapist, the following is a little bit about myself to help you determine whether my credentials, style and areas of expertise are a good fit for you. I am a LCSW working as a therapist for over twenty-five years in NYC. I obtained my degree from CUNY Hunter College in New York. I also graduated with a Nursing degree from the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing in 2012. I believe strongly that our mind/body connection affects the way we live our lives. The better we feel about our mental health the easier it is to make good, sound decisions in all areas of our lives. Our mental and physical health are connected and are contingent on one another for continued growth and change. A great deal of my practice and work has focused on a few areas. I have worked with people who are struggling with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Grief and Addictions. I have focused on LGBTQ+ issues and young adults struggling with relationship, trauma, and career issues. I am passionate about my work and recognize that starting counseling isn’t necessarily an easy task, but it is a partnership that requires compassion, commitment, availability and trust. My approach is varied depending on the situation and goal that you have set for yourself. I am comfortable and skilled working with a Behavioral Modification approach, Psychodynamic perspectives, Mind/Body techniques, Crisis Intervention and Existential Therapy. No two people are alike and each individual will respond to a various combination of different types of care. What’s most important is that you feel understood, safe, and know that you can share anything and that it will be received with non-judgement, compassion, care and a focus on solutions. I live by the motto of “Carpe Diem”. Seize the day! Time is a precious commodity and we do not get to push back time. No time like the present to invest in yourself and achieve your goals. I look forward to hearing from you.

As a therapist, I focus on working with clients going through difficult Life Transitions. As humans beings, we all experience periods in our lives that involve structural changes, and high stakes decision making. At times, these changes and the decisions involved, can make us feel very overwhelmed, and leave us with a sense that we have been thrown off balance. Some examples of life transitions include; the end of a relationship, a change in work dynamics, as well as the transition into adulthood that starts during adolescence. I also specialize in helping women during the difficult transition period of becoming a new mother. I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders and the grieving process. The uncertainty present during new life stages can often generate stress and anxiety, as well as feelings of disappointment, shame, sadness, and grief. If you are going through a transitional stage in your life, or you are feeling stuck and are concerned about your mental wellbeing, I am here to help. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach to therapy is collaborative as well as cognitive behavioral. As we work together we will be looking at any road blocks that may be the root causes of your current struggles. These roadblocks can be at a conscious level and you are able to identify them. These roadblocks can also be at an unconscious level, and usually tied to past experiences, uncovering them during therapy will help you see them more clearly. Only when you see something clearly will you then be able to transform it. We will also be implementing practical life changes and actionable solutions for you to bring about the healing and the outcomes that you desire in your life. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life experience takes courage and determination. I am here to support you towards your own journey of transformation. I finished my graduate school studies in Psychology at Columbia University in New York City in 2003. I also completed additional post graduate training in counseling at Cornell University. In 2019, I specialized in Maternal Mental Health and Wellness, and I am certified to treat perinatal mood disorders through Post-Partum Support International. I am here to help you take care of your mental health, and navigate through the psychological challenges that may be blocking you. The goal is for you to move through your current struggles, so you start a new chapter in your life with ease and confidence. You can view my current availability to schedule a session. I look forward to talking to you.
