About Jaclene

Jaclene Newell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers work around relational and experiential approaches that help people notice and shift patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

She draws on a blend of Internal Family Systems and evidence-based therapies to guide clients through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and addiction-related concerns. Over nine years of practice she uses an attentive, warm stance to help people explore inner parts, emotional wounds, and the practical challenges that show up in daily life.

Jaclene’s practice in Wisconsin focuses on meeting clients where they are emotionally and practically, allowing space for small changes that accumulate into meaningful progress. Her experience includes attention to intimacy-related issues, parenting and family problems, anger and self-esteem struggles, bipolar and ADHD concerns, and difficulties with sleep, eating, and coping with life transitions.

She works collaboratively to set goals rooted in clients’ values and capacities, adapting techniques from ACT, CBT, attachment-based work, and client-centered therapy to each person’s needs.

Integrating Internal Parts Work and Practical Therapies Online

Jaclene commonly incorporates Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and engage with different internal parts in a gentle, curious way, which can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and conflicted feelings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify personal values and build committed action toward a meaningful life, and Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early bonds influence current connections.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. Jaclene works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the emotional material they bring. Together the therapist and client adjust techniques over time so the work remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow clients to engage in parts work, values-focused ACT exercises, and attachment-oriented conversations from locations that suit their life rhythms, making it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing other commitments.
