Jacqueline Holland, Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

I work with individuals and couples who are trying to make sense of complicated relationships, difficult life transitions, and patterns that keep repeating no matter how much insight they already have. A large part of my practice focuses on couples’ work, helping partners navigate conflict, rebuild trust after infidelity, improve intimacy, and break out of the same exhausting cycles that leave both people feeling misunderstood or disconnected. My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and tailored to the person(s) sitting in front of me. I draw from narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy, which means we look at the stories, patterns, and dynamics shaping your life while also focusing on practical, realistic changes. With couples, I often integrate emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help partners better understand emotional reactions, attachment patterns, protective behaviors, and the deeper needs underneath conflict. I have experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, grief, sexual trauma, sexual dysfunction, relationship conflicts, intimacy concerns, addiction, domestic violence, and complicated family dynamics. I also work with older adults navigating aging, caregiving stress, loss, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that can come with later stages of life. A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and still stuck. Some feel overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, angry, lonely, or unsure how things got this far off track. Others are carrying experiences they’ve never fully talked about out loud. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest without feeling judged, overanalyzed, or pushed toward someone else’s agenda. I’m direct, engaged, and practical. I’m not going to sit quietly while you go in circles for 50 minutes. We’ll talk about what’s actually happening, what’s keeping you stuck, and what meaningful change could look like in real life, not just in theory.
