About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Clausius -Guthreau is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Wisconsin with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, career pressures, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and focus on practical skills clients can use between appointments.
Her background combines several evidence-informed approaches. She uses client-centered methods to make space for a person's perspective and to build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anger, anxiety, or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy is part of her toolbox to help people notice physical and emotional cues before they escalate. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are weighing change, including work on substance use or other addictive behaviors. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe difficult experiences and separate themselves from problem-focused stories.
Jacqueline commonly addresses practical relationship issues such as communication and control problems, blended family tensions, and caregiver stress. She also works with people facing chronic health or aging concerns, fertility challenges, and first responder stress. Her sessions include concrete strategies for managing anger, improving communication, and building coping routines.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Jacqueline uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build on a person's strengths, helping them clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that increase anger or anxiety and replacing them with more helpful habits.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach noticing sensations and emotions early so reactions can be changed. These methods work well together: one approach grounds the conversation, another targets thinking patterns, and mindfulness gives tools for in-the-moment regulation. Jacqueline treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will help clients decide what fits their needs and priorities over the first few sessions.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Clients and the therapist will discuss which methods and session arrangements best match goals and daily routines.
