Find a Therapist in United States

I take a holistic approach to healing to integrate the physical body, emotions, nervous system, mind, and spirt as well as honor the lived experiences of diverse cultures, beliefs, and traditions. I have experience in private practice as well as intensive outpatient settings, working with teens, adults, couples, and families.  

Hi there! My name is MJ Jacquot, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Hartford, CT and working with clients statewide via tele-health. I work with adults, individuals, and couples, and specialize in life transitions, dual diagnosis, and addiction issues. I am grounded in a Person-Centered perspective and often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients move towards their goals.  

Navigating relationships is perhaps the most challenging area of our lives and yet we get no formal training on how to do it in school. This is where I can help. I can assist you and your loved ones to change old ways of interacting and to stop those circular arguments that go nowhere. Please take the time to call me for a free consultation.  

Are you struggling to connect with others or feel alone? Perhaps this leads to frustration or alienation. Or maybe you find yourself frequently putting others' needs above your own, to the point where you feel run-down and emotionally exhausted. You may be facing a major life change or decision, either for yourself or for your family. In these situations, it can be challenging to tap into your own thoughts or cope with overwhelming emotions. It can be hard to know where to start, but you don't have to do it on your own!  

You've tried to cut back or stop, but find yourself exhausted, frustrated, and wondering if anything will actually work. At California Center for Change, we help you understand what's beneath the surface so that real change becomes possible. Our team works with individuals and families across California offering compassionate, research-based therapy that addresses not just your use, but the pain driving it. You deserve to feel better and we're here to help you get there.  

You're good at what you do. You're that friend or family member that people reach out to for advice. You are the one that keeps things running for everyone else. And yet, you are reaching burnout, putting up with an inner critic that constantly questions whether everything you do is enough. If you are looking to build a more sustainable relationship with your work, connect with me. I support high-achieving professionals navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and work/life balance. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals, or professionals at multilateral development orgs (e.g., the World Bank, IDB, IMF) and the government, facing career disruption. I work with late-diagnosed ADHD, autistic, and OCD adults exhausted from masking and ready to understand themselves without pathologizing who they are. I believe clear goals and measurable progress are a form of respect for your time and your struggle. That's why I offer structure and a goal-oriented framework through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches, delivered entirely through secure video sessions. As an immigrant and first-generation professional myself, I offer a space to build genuine self-understanding, practical skills, and the confidence to advocate for yourself, in English or Spanish, wherever you are.  

I know that people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals and then create a road map to achieving them. I focus on relationships & couples counseling, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I have held roles of Clinical Director and Therapist in a number of addiction treatment centers in Southern California. My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through our struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.  

I am now providing the full range of counseling and hypnotherapy services to you via an ACA compliant, secure video platform or via your telephone. I continue to bring the broad range of training and experience to my work as a therapist from over the past 30 years. You can now have personal, professional counseling & hypnotherapy services in the comfort and convenience of your own home, office, or even your car. I have learned that each person has a unique background, unique problems, and unique strengths. I've learned the importance of gaining a thorough understanding of my clients' situation & the issues with which they are struggling, and what their goals are. I work to help each client cope with their life stressors, and to tap into the conscious & unconscious resources that will help them heal & grow, empowering them to make changes that they want for themselves and achieve their goals.  

I’ve spent a lot of time developing expertise in the issues I work with; however, I rely equally on my heart and gut sense in working with each client uniquely. I have a straightforward, common-sense style and know the value of elbow grease in making life changes. Trauma in all its forms is the thread that connects the different life problems I specialize in working with. I don’t believe in having only one tool in my toolbox, any more than I believe in having only one trauma treatment available to help you. Let’s figure out what tools work best for you, whether that be EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brain Spotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, or the Safe and Sound Protocol. We currently have openings for intensives, men's and women's groups, and online workshops.  

At PsychWorks Clinic, our goal is to create a space that is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and honesty. Therapy is a partnership. We work together to unpack the stories you’ve been told and the ones you tell yourself, to find the truth underneath and build something stronger in its place. Whether we're working with a child finding their voice, a couple rebuilding connection, or a man learning it’s okay to feel, growth doesn’t always look like comfort, but it always leads to freedom. This work is deeply human. And every session, every conversation, is an opportunity to remind someone that they are not broken, they’re becoming.  

I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, relationship challenges, or the weight of past trauma, you're not alone. My mission is to walk with you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I offer a compassionate and supportive environment where you can freely express yourself and receive the care you deserve. Through tailored therapy sessions—available both in-person and via secure telehealth platforms—I provide a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards lasting change. Together, we'll focus on understanding, healing, and personal growth, empowering you to find balance, joy, and purpose in your life. While life's challenges may not disappear overnight, I am here to support you in establishing healthy boundaries, seeking healing, and planning for a fulfilling future. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a free consultation. Let's embark on this journey together.  

My job is to hold up an accurate mirror. A good therapist helps you to become more aware of and access the skills and strengths you have, and is not afraid to point out the barriers to progress that you are experiencing.  

I provide client-centered, evidence-informed therapy designed to support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, mood concerns, and other emotional challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support overall psychological well-being.  

I approach therapy as a practical and relational process rather than a set of techniques. People usually come in when long-standing ways of coping no longer fit their current life, even if those strategies once made sense. My work focuses on understanding how those patterns developed, how they continue to function, and how they can be reorganized in ways that support greater flexibility and self-direction. Change matters to me as it shows up in how a person lives, relates, and responds outside the therapy space.  

If you're a top-performing woman who is juggling the dream of "having it all" with the reality of "doing it all," welcome. One thing about me is that I keep it real in therapy: The reality of being a woman in healthcare and a therapist is that we may know all things we should be doing, and we also know how hard it can be to do those things. We'll build insight and work through the challenges that come up along the way. My specialties are supporting women through the burnout of being a parent and high-achieving professional, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma.  

I am a therapist that specializes in the treatment of depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief and loss, and a variety of inner conflicts that diminish the joy of living. I will focus on establishing goals for your personal needs, healthy coping skills and develop positive growth utilizing confidentiality, trust and a non-judgmental atmosphere. I have a holistic approach to counseling, evaluating the whole person from both their inner and outer characteristics. I believe both clinical and the spiritual dynamics of therapy go hand in hand. I will provide effective therapy to each client according to your uniqueness and need.  

I am a licensed psychologist offering virtual psychotherapy. My strengths are in cognitive behavioral therapy and holistic counseling, focusing on women who identify as lesbian as well as those who have survived childhood sexual abuse and other forms of sexual trauma. I believe that healing is possible and I welcome the opportunity to help you find your path to healing.  

Transformational Choices respects and affirms each client and works in partnership to create a life based in positivity and action. We want you to give yourself permission to shine and develop the future that you deserve. We accept you and honor your story and experience.  

We'll work together to heal your insecure attachment. Insecure attachment presents the following ways: 1. Difficult in relationships (being too clingy, or being too distant, compulsive care-taking, excessive self-reliance ) 2. Disturbed sense of self (Poor self-esteem, poor self-agency, poor self definition) 3. Problems with emotional self-regulation (anxiety, social anxiety, inability to know what you are feeling) As a team, we will identify your issues, understand them, and then create an emotionally corrective experience to help you heal deeply.  

Trauma recovery is deeply personal, and taking the first step can feel overwhelming. My goal is to make the process feel clear, supportive, and manageable. I’ve focused my practice on EMDR Intensives because they allow us to spend meaningful, uninterrupted time working with experiences that may still be affecting your emotions, relationships, beliefs, or daily life. I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, attachment wounds, traumatic grief, high-stress experiences, and other events that continue to feel unresolved. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. You won’t be expected to tell your entire story all at once or push into anything before you feel prepared. My Signature Intensive begins with a 4-hour intensive session on Tuesday and a 3-hour intensive session on Thursday. This structure gives us time to prepare carefully, do focused trauma work, and support what comes next. If you already have a therapist, I’m happy to collaborate with them, with your permission, so the intensive can complement the work you’re already doing rather than replace it. I believe good trauma therapy should help you understand yourself more clearly, feel less controlled by the past, and move forward with greater steadiness and choice. I offer a free 20-minute consultation so we can talk about what you’re hoping to work on and determine whether an intensive feels like the right fit.
