Professional statement

Jackeline Goncalves, LICSW, is a compassionate and skilled therapist who serves college students, adolescents, and adults dealing with anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and other challenges. She specializes in helping clients transform their lives through mindset shifts, working with them to build resilience, manage symptoms, and achieve their personal and professional goals. By focusing on each client’s strengths, she empowers them to address obstacles and develop practical, holistic coping strategies tailored to their individual needs.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), blended with mindfulness practices to foster self-awareness and promote calm in moments of stress. She also integrates the principles of manifestation, believing that a positive mindset can drive meaningful life changes. Her motto, “Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life,” reflects her commitment to helping clients unlock their potential and reshape their futures.

Jackeline holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Walden University, obtained in 2019, and has years of experience working in the social work field. Her background includes diverse settings where she conducted evaluations and assessments, building a solid foundation for her private practice. In 2024, after earning her independent license, she launched Healing Body And Mind Therapy, where she offers a safe and supportive space for clients to engage in their healing journey.

Jackeline offers sessions exclusively in a virtual format, making her services accessible to clients across different regions. She is also bilingual in Cape Verdean Creole, allowing her to connect more deeply with Cape Verdean clients.


Message to clients

I’m so glad you’re here, and I want you to know that taking this first step is something to be proud of. Working with me, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can openly explore the challenges you’re facing, whether it's anxiety, life transitions, or self-esteem issues. I believe that every person has unique strengths, and together, we’ll use those strengths as a foundation for meaningful change. My goal is to help you build resilience, find balance, and take steps toward the life you truly want.

In our sessions, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to create a holistic approach that aligns with your needs. I also incorporate manifestation principles because I believe that cultivating a positive, empowered mindset can help guide us toward achieving our goals. I’ll be here to support you, helping you discover practical coping strategies and new perspectives that can transform your day-to-day life.

As I work exclusively through virtual sessions, you’ll have the flexibility to access therapy from the comfort of your own home. I’m looking forward to starting this journey with you and helping you create lasting change.
