Hi, great to have you here! I know it can feel overwhelming to seek out therapy and find a good fit, and hope we might take that next step together! Many clients have described my personality as warm, not clinical, and intuitive to their emotions.

While I have worked for years with diverse clients, I specialize and work with people-pleasing women who want to increase their confidence, Christians who want to integrate faith + mental health, and individuals who feel the weight of their past impacting who they are today.

Hello! I work with adult clients, ages 18-64 years old, who have medication management needs for their mental health conditions. Clients should have appropriate acuity in the mild-to-moderate range for telehealth care. Certain conditions or symptom severity levels may need a more intensive care setting than telehealth. Same week appointments available.

Jacqueline A. Aguilar

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Jacqueline Aguilar, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California with over 13 years of experience in both mental health and healthcare settings. As a therapist, I am especially passionate about helping individuals overcome their fear of travel—whether that involves flying, visiting a new country, or taking a first cruise. In addition to this focus, I support clients in managing anxiety disorders, chronic health, depression, self esteem and OCD.

I have found it deeply rewarding to help individuals build self-esteem, navigate life transitions such as divorce or breakups, and process grief related to the loss of a loved one or cherished pet. Ultimately, my goal is to support each person in reaching meaningful, lasting change.
