About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Shannon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses attachment-based ideas to guide her work. She centers relationships and connection as a way to help people feel safer and more understood. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with space for humor and honest conversation.
She has about 10 years of clinical experience working with mood, anxiety, and addictive concerns. Jacqueline draws on relationship-focused approaches alongside cognitive and emotion-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship challenges, intimacy issues, and questions around gender and identity. Jacqueline often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people notice what matters most to them. She uses practical exercises and present-moment attention so new choices feel doable.
Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step work rather than jargon or long lectures. Her background includes community mental health and leadership roles where she trained and supervised others. That experience informs a pragmatic approach to therapy - she listens for patterns, asks direct questions, and offers tools people can try between sessions.
Jacqueline makes space for emotion while also helping clients build practical skills. People come for help with addiction, caregiver stress, grief, codependency, and building stronger communication. She supports parents and individuals facing separation, career changes, or midlife transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted from her Oregon practice.

Online support
How attachment work and ACT translate to online therapy
Jacqueline uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people notice patterns in connections and build safer ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify what truly matters, teach practical skills to accept difficult thoughts, and guide action toward values. Client-Centered Therapy brings a warm, nonjudgmental stance so people feel heard and can explore their experience at their own pace.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts techniques as needed. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment work, ACT exercises, or a client-centered, emotion-focused conversation based on the issue and what feels most useful in session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection for relationship-focused work. Phone or short chat sessions can be easier when bandwidth or scheduling is limited, or for quick check-ins. Text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit work on relationship patterns and coping skills into a busy life.
