About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Shannon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Oregon. She draws on existential and humanistic ideas to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, addiction concerns, and big life changes. Jacqueline uses clear, direct talk and grounded humor to make difficult conversations easier.
Jacqueline has about ten years of clinical experience and a long history in community mental health. She has spent many years working with adults and teens with mood, anxiety, and substance use challenges, and has also held leadership roles teaching newer clinicians.
Background and approach
That background informs a practical, experience-based approach to therapy. In sessions she blends talk and present-moment awareness. She encourages people to notice what matters most to them and to test changes in small, doable steps.
Work often focuses on building stronger attachment patterns, addressing codependency, and improving communication in close relationships. She supports a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, midlife and life-purpose questions, sexual and intimacy issues, gender dysphoria, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Jacqueline also helps with career decisions, forgiveness work, and coping with isolation or loneliness.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. People can expect direct questions, empathic listening, and practical steps to try between sessions. Jacqueline works with respect for different backgrounds and identities, and she offers sessions in English to adults in Oregon.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
The practice blends Existential Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to address personal meaning, valued action, and relationship patterns. Existential Therapy helps people face hard questions about purpose, freedom, and responsibility in plain terms and is useful for life purpose, midlife change, and grief. ACT focuses on clarifying values and building small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and addictive behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people improve communication and emotional connection in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try approaches and adjust based on goals, preferences, and what proves helpful. That lets the plan evolve rather than locking into a single method up front.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to use the format that feels most practical for each person.
