I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas who has worked in private practice for 3 years and has worked, full time, as a crisis counselor for 2 years. In 2019, I graduated with a Master’s degree in Education through Lamar University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. During my education at Lamar University I was awarded a grant for my research and was awarded scholarships for my academics. My treatment approach is client centered, based on identifying, processing, and treating symptoms that are negatively effecting the client. Clients could expect to speak with a counselor who values individuals for their uniqueness. It is my goal to help every client better themselves and find peace in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas and have 14 years of experience, with the last 6 of those years including clinical supervision for incoming licensed professionals. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and trauma. I have also worked with families and couples who are having parenting, relationship, or infidelity issues and LGBTQ+. A particular niche has also been to work with incoming college students (both young and old) in guiding them into a focused and clear college and career path. My therapy style is gently, warm, and non-judgmental and I tailor sessions to each specific client. I primarily utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe the best therapist will "work themselves out of a job" by empowering the client to become their own best ally instead of their own worst enemy. In other words, with proper support, I have complete faith in your ability to learn, grow, transform and rise above your current problems. I am already proud of you for taking charge of your own mental health and taking positive steps for your future. I look forward to working with you!

My ideal client is one who is struggling through an issue and is serious about making significant improvements through hard work. I am aware that life events manifest in many, and often unexpected, ways; Sometimes, the manifestations are changes in personality, mood, relationships, employment, health, and/or the development of various dependencies. I enjoy helping people navigate the stormy seas of trauma, because once the dark skies have cleared, it is truly a joyous day!

I will begin accepting clients May 1st, 2025. My approach to therapy follows a simple format delivered with the utmost respect and enthusiasm. I must earn your trust. This is supposed to help you. My communication style is generally void of jargon, tired sayings or "psychobabble". Initially some mutual understanding of the problem must be established. Definition fosters clarity; clarity strengthens meaning; meaning empowers solutions. The goal is for both of us to understand more fully just what it is about your situation that makes it a problem. For many this discussion alone brings a bit of relief. It feels good to be heard and understood. Secrets, however, about your life , about you, about what you think, must remain secrets to the extent that you are more comfortable with them being your secrets. I will not venture there. You will learn that somethings are irrevocably secrets and nobody can ever know. I will teach you how to protect those secrets, and their effects, and only you will decide, and under what circumstances, which secrets, if any, you will ever release, including to me. Next is the process of generating effective solutions. Some will discover that the hard work of therapy begins here. One starts to seriously consider what they must do to ameliorate that problem that we began to understand earlier. Then we choose our course of action. This is difficult. I will help you. We will make a plan. We execute the plan. Did it help? Yes, then what do we do next? No, then we decide which previous step we need to refine. There may have been a problem we failed to identify sooner. We have learned something important though. The techniques used are time honored and supported by research and experience. There is a vast amount of resources to explore. Or we make new ones. I received my education from the University of Texas at Austin and was awarded Master of Arts from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1986. I spent over 20 years in an in-patient facility in Texas as an Associate Clinical Psychologist. I have served as therapist to individuals from diverse backgrounds and with unique challenges. Some of the people I have worked with, in an alliance to make their lives at the very least tolerable, are among the coolest and most admirable humans I have ever known. I owe them a lot for the skills I bring here.

My Name is Jacqueline Forde I am an LPC- LCDC in the State of Texas. Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of darkness, it is the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing the light will shine again. If you are seeking help often times, it can be an overwhelming and a humbling experience. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable and at ease can be a challenging, but once it is a good match, you will be able to overcome obstacles. Remember you are the expert in your own life. I provide no pressure, safe setting so that you can be yourself without judgement. We would work together customize your therapy experience to gain the value you are seeking. Some people want to work on a specific issue that is blocking their way, while others want to look deeper into their life. My approach is holistic; helping you heal I use a combination of approaches including Cognitive behavioral psychodynamic inner child and humanistic modalities to help you see how the past is impacting some of your difficulties today. By facilitating a process of becoming aware, I will help you relinquish unconsciousness beliefs that are holding you back and identify what you need to make a change. Our wounds are often openings to the best and most beautiful part of ourselves.
