Jacqueline Lacy-Diggins

Jacqueline Lacy-Diggins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 27 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of past trauma. Her work often centers on restoring self-worth and guiding clients through life transitions.

She uses a straightforward, compassionate style that emphasizes listening first. Clients are encouraged to name their goals and take small, practical steps toward them. Sessions typically focus on improving coping skills, reducing overwhelming feelings, and rebuilding confidence.

Jacqueline often helps people who are facing relationship strain, changes like divorce or separation, or tough decisions in midlife. She also addresses concerns around substance use, domestic violence, and family of origin issues. Eating and food-related issues are included among her areas of focus when relevant to a client's goals.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused strategies. That means she balances emotional support with concrete skills work and short-term goal planning. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily life.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where the therapist and client set priorities together. Jacqueline aims to help people practice new ways of coping and communicate more clearly in their relationships. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical change.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Jacqueline blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building trust so they can name goals and make choices that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle symptoms of depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify what feels most useful based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. Together they can try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. They can also allow shorter follow-up sessions when needed and may be easier for people who prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same goal-focused work that happens in person, tailored to the client's routine and needs.
