I know to take a picture you type into the command line: fswebcam name.jpg. And a photo will be taken and saved to the file name.jpg.

But I want to see the picture I am taking. Like how you do it on a photo, you aim and shoot.

How can I do this on a Rasperry Pi 3B with a USB webcam?

You could use mplayer to watch the video stream, and press "s" to take a snapshot.
