Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau, LMFT

Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes including midlife concerns. She aims to help people regain a sense of direction, improve communication skills, and build healthier coping habits. Her approach is calm and straightforward, focused on practical steps you can use day to day.

Jacqueline blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools to address the problems people bring to sessions. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new behaviors, and practice present-moment awareness that reduces reactivity. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are also used when change feels stuck or a fresh perspective is needed.

She often sees people dealing with relationship strain, career crossroads, grief, caregiver stress, and addictive behaviors. Jacqueline also supports those facing aging and health-related challenges, blended family dynamics, fertility concerns, and forgiveness or guilt issues. Her work includes attention to communication problems, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals, collaborative planning, and skills practice that fit real life. Conversations move between clarifying values, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and small experiments to test new approaches. Her style is respectful and steady, aimed at helping people find workable changes rather than perfect solutions.

Jacqueline practices in Wisconsin and offers services in English. She uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then appointments are scheduled according to her availability.

How Jacqueline Uses Therapy Methods Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes getting to know each person and shaping sessions around their priorities; it helps when someone needs support finding direction or better ways to communicate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practicing concrete changes that reduce anxiety or lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and increase focus in difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels workable for each person.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. For some people, not being in an office helps them focus on skills practice; for others, scheduling flexibility is the main benefit. The therapist and client will decide what works best for scheduling and session length.
