About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Vedder is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on relationships and intimacy. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and works from Indiana.
Background and approach
Jacqueline aims to help people navigate complex relationship concerns and issues tied to sexuality and addiction. She often supports people facing infidelity, communication breakdowns, and trust issues.
She helps clients build clearer boundaries and find steadier ways to talk about hard feelings. Jacqueline also works with concerns around sexual functioning, sexual trauma, and process or substance-related addictions.
Her practice is attentive to LGBTQ topics, nontraditional relationship dynamics, and kink-positive conversations. She helps people talk through identity, desire, and the impact of stigma or discrimination on relationships and sense of self.
This can include work on self-worth, shame, and reclaiming sexual agency. Jacqueline uses practical strategies to improve communication and reduce repeated conflict.
Sessions focus on specific skills - setting boundaries, naming patterns, and repairing ruptures. She aims to create a space where people can make clear decisions about attachment and intimacy.
Clients who want flexible session formats can connect remotely using video, phone, chat, or text messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Jacqueline draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote care. One common approach focuses on improving communication skills - teaching clear ways to express needs, set boundaries, and de-escalate arguments so conversations are less likely to spiral. This helps people dealing with trust breaches, repeated fights, and ongoing distance in close relationships.Another key focus is work around sexual health and addiction-related behaviors. Sessions look at patterns that maintain problematic behaviors and introduce step-by-step changes, coping strategies, and ways to rebuild safety in intimacy. This can be useful for process addictions, sex-related concerns, and recovery from sexual trauma.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods, and adjust based on what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read nonverbal cues and work in depth, while phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, family, or travel schedules.
