About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Rivers is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people build stronger self-esteem and healthier relationships. She brings a collaborative, client-centered style and practical tools to sessions. Jacqueline aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way and try new ways of coping and relating.
She uses ideas from attachment theory and systems thinking to look at how relationships and family dynamics affect well-being. Sessions often include mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps to address immediate concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her trauma-informed approach for processing difficult memories.
Jacqueline earned a Master of Science in Family and Child Science with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from New Mexico State University. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University. Her credential is LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and she practices in New Mexico.
Over the past ten years she has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, and cancer-related stress. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and issues around identity and intimacy. Her work often addresses attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and body image.
Jacqueline describes therapy as a joint effort: she listens, offers feedback, and helps set small goals. People leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with a schedule and plan.
