Jacqueline DeLisle, LMFT, Therapist in Federal Way, Washington

Jacqueline DeLisle helps children, adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for each person’s unique experience. As a Marriage & Family Therapist at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy and family therapy for patients across Washington. Jacqueline works collaboratively with clients to create a supportive environment where they can better understand themselves, build resilience, and move toward meaningful and lasting change. With experience treating anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and ADHD, Jacqueline helps clients address concerns that may be affecting their emotional well-being, relationships, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. She believes that effective therapy starts by recognizing each individual’s strengths and personal insight. Her approach is tailored to the needs of the person, child, or family she is supporting, allowing treatment to progress at a pace that feels both productive and emotionally safe. She also has experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals on the autism spectrum, and others seeking affirming, evidence-based mental health care. Jacqueline is especially passionate about supporting individuals and families facing complex life circumstances. This includes working with people who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital, families navigating parental custody concerns, individuals involved in current legal matters, and those seeking assistance related to disability paperwork. She understands that these situations can bring significant emotional stress and uncertainty, and she is committed to helping clients build coping skills, improve stability, and identify practical pathways forward. Her therapeutic style is flexible and integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based approaches, while incorporating additional evidence-based interventions when appropriate. She also offers support for childhood behavioral concerns, depression, gender identity exploration, life transitions, and other mental health needs. Before becoming a therapist, Jacqueline developed a strong appreciation for the importance of human connection, creativity, and personal growth, values that continue to shape her work today. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2014, she has remained committed to helping people feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout their mental health journey. Outside of her professional life, Jacqueline enjoys reading fiction, writing, and exploring a variety of artistic pursuits. She loves dancing, singing, crafting miniatures, and spending time outdoors. She also enjoys discovering new cities and trying different foods with her son, family, and friends.
