Jacqueline Valoy

Jacqueline Valoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Hawaii with three years of practice. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. Jacqueline also helps people dealing with self-esteem struggles, relationship communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

She uses a trauma-informed, collaborative style that centers what the person brings to sessions. Jacqueline listens for the practical ways stress shows up and helps people build coping skills to manage symptoms and day-to-day demands. When trauma is involved, she focuses on methods that address distress tied to past events and their effects on current life.

Jacqueline integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with expressive tools when helpful. That can include approaches aimed at processing traumatic memories and techniques that teach new ways to respond to anxious or depressive patterns. She will discuss options and decide with the client which methods make sense for their concerns.

When requested, Jacqueline can include a client’s Christian faith as part of sessions. She offers counseling in English and Spanish and is based in Hawaii. Her work is aimed at helping people make clearer decisions about life transitions, manage intense emotions, and reconnect with a sense of direction.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Jacqueline uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.

Approaches Jacqueline Uses and how online work fits

Jacqueline draws on evidence-based techniques focused on trauma processing and cognitive work. Trauma-focused approaches help people address the impact of past events and reduce the ways those memories affect daily functioning. Cognitive-based strategies look at patterns of thought and behavior, teaching concrete skills to manage anxiety and low mood.

She also uses creative, expressive methods when they fit a client's style. These tools can provide another channel for processing feelings when words alone are not enough. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; Jacqueline will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences.

Confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions are that they can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments around work or family demands. Some formats may also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits a client's needs. Jacqueline will help identify which setup makes the most sense for scheduling and therapeutic progress.
