About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Arcand is an LCSW who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She meets people where they are and focuses on building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Jacqueline writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s story before deciding what to do next.
She treats trauma and abuse, codependency, attachment issues, and co-occurring concerns like bipolar disorder and substance use. Her work often addresses family of origin themes, abandonment, and the effects of immigration or first responder stress.
Background and approach
Jacqueline draws on several approaches to match the work to the person rather than forcing one method on everyone. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She invites people to describe how problems developed and what they want to change.
Sessions include practical steps and chances to try new ways of coping between meetings. Jacqueline has ten years of professional experience and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. She is licensed in Arizona and Alaska and practices from Alaska.
Her background working with varied concerns gives her tools to work with complicated histories and co-morbid conditions. People who prefer a narrative emphasis will find she values each person’s story and the meanings they attach to life events. She integrates client-centered listening, attachment-focused questions, and practical skills when those fit the goals at hand.
Jacqueline aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jacqueline directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas shape online care
Jacqueline often blends Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working online. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity so new choices feel possible. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions and closeness.She approaches this work collaboratively. Together the therapist and client decide which methods fit the goals and needs. That means trying narrative exercises one week and attachment-focused questions the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or a way to share thoughts when scheduled time is not possible.
Using these formats, Jacqueline aims to translate narrative and attachment work into clear steps people can use at home, at work, or between appointments. The focus stays on making progress that fits the person’s life and schedule.
