Jacqueline Liu
Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in the state of Texas. With over five years of experience, I obtained my Masters degree from Our Lady of the Lake University. My passion lies in supporting individuals facing stress disorders, trauma, and women's health concerns. Through a compassionate and holistic approach, I work collaboratively with my clients to navigate their challenges and promote healing. Whether it's managing stress, processing trauma, or addressing women's health issues. I have also been focused on working with individuals with autoimmune disorders, cancer and long term chronic illnesses and being able to live a lifestyle reduced of stress, anxiety and depression. I strive to create a safe and empowering space for individuals to explore their experiences and achieve greater well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the initial session with me, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can begin to explore their concerns in a safe and non-judgmental space. There is no judgement with me, just honesty and simply wanting to work with you on seeing progress. I want you to feel free to speak to someone without fear of holding back. The first session is primarily focused on building rapport and establishing a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. I will take the time to get to know the client, their background, and their reasons for seeking therapy. We will discuss their goals, concerns, and any specific areas they would like to address in therapy. Additionally, I will provide information about confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and what clients can expect moving forward. Depending on the client's needs and preferences, we may also begin to explore some initial coping strategies or interventions to help them feel more supported and empowered. Overall, the first session is an opportunity for clients to feel heard, understood, and supported as they embark on their journey toward healing and personal growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathy, adaptability, and commitment to client-centered care. I have a genuine passion for helping others and a deep empathy for the challenges they may be facing. This allows me to establish a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients and create a safe space for them to explore their emotions and experiences. Additionally, I am highly adaptable and flexible in my approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual client. Whether it's cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness techniques, or narrative therapy, I tailor my interventions to best support my clients' goals and preferences. Furthermore, I am deeply committed to providing client-centered care, placing my clients' needs, preferences, and autonomy at the forefront of the therapeutic process. I actively collaborate with my clients, empowering them to take an active role in their own healing journey and fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use a combination of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to empower clients in navigating life's challenges. By integrating these skills into therapy sessions and skills training groups, I help clients develop coping strategies for distressing situations, enhance emotional resilience, and foster healthier interactions with others.
Strength-Based
In my counseling practice, I prioritize a strength-based approach that focuses on harnessing the inherent capabilities and resources within each individual. Rather than solely focusing on problems or challenges, I strive to identify and amplify the unique strengths, skills, and resilience present in my clients. Through collaborative exploration and empowerment, I work alongside individuals to recognize and leverage their strengths as tools for growth and positive change. By cultivating a supportive and affirming environment, I aim to instill confidence, hope, and a sense of agency in my clients, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve their therapeutic goals. This approach fosters a sense of self-efficacy and encourages clients to tap into their own internal resources, ultimately promoting greater resilience and well-being.
Trauma Informed Care
In my approach to counseling, I deeply value the principles of trauma-informed care, recognizing the pervasive impact of trauma on individuals' lives. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where clients feel heard, respected, and validated. Central to this approach is a profound understanding of the complex ways in which trauma can manifest and influence individuals' thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Multicultural
In my counseling practice, I am committed to embracing the principles of multicultural counseling to ensure that every client receives culturally responsive and affirming care. I recognize the profound influence of culture, identity, and intersectionality on individuals' lived experiences and mental health. I strive to create an inclusive and culturally sensitive environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel valued, understood, and respected. Central to this approach is a genuine curiosity and openness to understanding the unique cultural perspectives, values, and beliefs that shape clients' worldviews. I actively engage in ongoing self-reflection and cultural humility, acknowledging my own biases and privileges to better serve clients from diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds.
Eclectic
Mainly, I use eclectic approach that draws from a diverse range of therapeutic techniques and theoretical orientations to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each individual client. Rather than adhering strictly to one theoretical model, I integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic approaches, mindfulness-based interventions, and other evidence-based practices. This eclectic framework allows me to be flexible and responsive to the complexities of human experience, honoring the multifaceted nature of mental health and well-being.
