Jacqueline Litz

Jacqueline earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Duquesne University and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. She is passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and cultivate fulfilling, authentic lives. Before becoming a counselor, she worked as a Russian-English interpreter and translator, assisting members of Pittsburgh’s Russian-speaking immigrant community in accessing healthcare and mental health services. Her academic and professional experiences deepened her understanding of how cultural and social contexts profoundly shape individuals’ lives. Jacqueline integrates this awareness into her practice, using a multicultural lens to understand and empower clients within their unique environments.

Jacqueline has experience counseling adults across the lifespan. Guided by authenticity and empathy, she believes meaningful progress begins with a collaborative and trusting client-therapist relationship. She strives to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore their inner selves, develop greater self-awareness, and gain valuable insight. Jacqueline tailors her therapeutic approach to meet each client’s unique needs, drawing primarily from existential, psychodynamic, systemic, and emotion-focused therapy (EFT) modalities. She is committed to helping clients uncover their strengths, deepen their self-understanding, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
