Saray Jaquillard
Hello. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. I received my Masters from the University of Toledo and have been practicing for 14 years. I find that having clarity is vital to making changes in our lives. Why we do the things we do, often not even being aware of why we do them.
I have experience with working with individuals from multiple walks of life which has broadened my understanding of the different challenges that each of us can encounter in our journey through life.
Gaining insight into how our thoughts are impacting our behaviors is crucial to change. Changing the way we interact with others can greatly impact our daily functioning, reduce our stress, and improve our relationships with the people in our lives. Making these changes increases the potential for a more joyful life.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, followed by the reason you have taken this important step as well as your expectations and goals. I will gather information through an assessment which will help us create a plan to work on throughout our time together. We will also review the nature of confidentiality within a therapeutic relationship and its limitations, so that we can begin our therapeutic relationship on solid ground. Lastly, if this is your first time participating in therapy, I will go over the therapeutic process and our roles within our dynamic.

Ideal clients
I will help you as you work to gain clarity in your life and encourage you to keep seeking those answers until you feel you are in a better place. We can work together to explore your strengths as well as opportunities for growth. We will cover aspects of life ranging from mental health concerns, self-esteem issues, stress related to relationships, family, parenting, and the workplace, as well as its toll on your functioning. My role is to work with you to help you achieve your goals through active collaboration and open communication.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our behaviors are driven by our thoughts, so it is important to identify how our established belief system and thought patterns influence our behavior. We will explore areas of change that you would like to work on if you're feeling as if you want improvement in a particular area.
Strength-Based
Reinforcing the things that we are good at increases our positive outlook and helps to build resilience. Oftentimes, we don't acknowledge our strengths because we are focused on our weaknesses, which takes away from our progress in life. We will explore and identify areas of strengths in order to increase your confidence and ability to problem solve.
Motivational Interviewing
"Change is hard." We've heard the expression, we know what it means. However, the reason that the change is often hard can be obscure. Through open and honest dialogue, we can get to the bottom of what's holding you back.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
One way to increase self-awareness is through open dialogue where you lead the discussion in an effort to navigate through current and previous life stressors to better understand how your thoughts and feelings shape your life. This encourages healthier decision-making when it comes to prioritizing areas of change and growth which also fosters autonomy and improved self-esteem.
