About Jackie
Jackie M O'Malley Gomez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Jackie works with adolescents and adults and aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and hopeful.
Her style centers on treating the person, not just the problem. She listens for strengths in each story and helps clients use those strengths to meet their goals. Jackie encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than overwhelming change all at once.
Jackie commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness and somatic approaches to address how stress shows up in the body. Trauma-focused methods guide work with those who have a history of hurt or post-traumatic stress.
Sessions focus on clear goals like managing panic, improving concentration, navigating parenting challenges, or rebuilding self-esteem. Jackie emphasizes collaboration - she and the client decide what to try and adjust based on what works. Her approach aims to be direct, compassionate, and practical.
She believes taking the first step takes courage and offers steady support as people learn new ways to cope and move forward.
