About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Shannon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a practical, human-centered style to sessions. Jacqueline focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, and major life changes.
Jacqueline blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-informed work to look closely at how emotions shape relationships and sense of self. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice thoughts, choose meaningful actions, and build new habits.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, with room for humor alongside honest reflection. Her background includes long experience in community mental health and addiction services. That history informs a pragmatic approach to coping skills and relapse prevention, and an understanding of the pressures caregivers and helping professionals face.
Jacqueline has also spent time mentoring and supervising clinicians, which sharpened her clarity in asking useful questions and naming patterns. In the therapy room she aims to create a steady, empathic space where people can face uncomfortable feelings. She encourages present-moment awareness alongside practical change.
Work often moves between talking, noticing bodily experience, and practicing new ways of relating. Jacqueline welcomes people across sexual orientations and gender identities, and she supports clients dealing with grief, parenting strain, midlife questions, career shifts, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or messaging for practical convenience.

Online support
Emotion and Attachment Work Online
Jacqueline uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people track their feelings and see how emotions shape close relationships. EFT-focused work often looks at patterns of connection and helps people name and shift emotional responses that get in the way of feeling close.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, life transitions, and building daily routines that feel meaningful. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore early relational patterns and how they affect current partnerships and sense of safety in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the mix of EFT, ACT, and attachment work based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which methods fit the issue, personality, and stage of change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new ways of relating. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Messaging and live chat offer flexibility for quick reflections or between-session support. These options make therapy more accessible for busy schedules and varied needs.
