Jacqueline Oshiver, LMFT, LCSW

Jacqueline Oshiver is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 40 years of clinical experience and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions, and anger. Jacqueline also works with concerns like ADHD, career stress, intimacy issues, and caregiver strain.

She follows a client-centered approach that keeps the relationship central. In sessions she mixes practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with emotionally-focused work. That means looking at how thoughts influence feelings and also attending to interaction patterns in relationships.

Jacqueline uses mindfulness practices and imagery to help people notice body responses and calm intense emotion. She draws on motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck or ambivalent. Psychodynamic ideas are used when early attachment and family-of-origin issues show up in current problems.

Her work addresses specific problems such as addiction, divorce and separation, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also helps people manage anger that shows up at home or work, and the resentment that builds over time. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and strategies to reduce reactivity.

Jacqueline’s experience includes university teaching and post-graduate training alongside long clinical practice. She frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at helping people function better in daily life and regain a steadier sense of well-being.
