DaVaughn has been so helpful in getting started with my therapy and helping me get to the root of where my anxiety lies. She listens, offers great questions, and allows me to work through my thoughts without pushing. I’ve only just begun working with her, but I’m so happy with my choice to work with her on my healing journey.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing information about yourself! I'm so happy that you reached out for help; it takes a lot of courage! I am DaVaughn Jackson, a licensed therapist. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. I appreciate you considering me for therapy!! Let's consider our first interaction as a consultation "try out" where you can see if I'm a good fit for you or not.

But let me explain my response time and availability if you plan to continue. I have twenty, 30 minute sessions: Monday-Friday 9:00am-4:00pm. We can meet live via video, phone or chat sessions once per week for 30 minutes or 45 minutes max; anything further would be at additional cost to you. I will respond via text in the BetterHelp platform multiple times per day as needed. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or crisis, please report to the hospital of your choice, call 911 or 988.

I like to provide education and homework related to your issues to drive our session discussions. Are you willing to complete assignments to address your issues? The BetterHelp platform offers a journal feature which may be helpful to assign for expressing your thoughts and feelings. Are you willing to complete journal entries if asked? Please let me know if these services work for you.

Best Regards in Your Mental Health Journey!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

DaVaughn has been a wonderful individual to work with. She is very kind, very easy to talk to, and very observant. In working with her, she picked up on a lot of things in my life that I did not notice on my own. She recalls small details, and you can tell that she is a very attentive listener. She is a great advocate, and has helped me navigate some difficulties in my life. One aspect of therapy with DaVaughn that I found most helpful was how she helped me take what we talked about during our sessions and translate it into my day to day activities. It is easy to talk about things in a controlled environment like a therapy session, but implementing those things into daily life can be difficult. DaVaughn gave me some great ideas on how to easily implement things into my work and personal life, and those practices have helped me immensely. I feel like I have made a massive amount of progress in my personal life with the help of DaVaughn. She has shared a lot of tidbits of advice that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Reviewed March 2022

Soft spoken but should be less critical of the client who is seeking help and direction. Could have used more positive terms than “insanity” or “people pleaser” which I am neither. Just because I was looking for counseling doesn’t mean there is insanity. No wonder people don’t want help as they are afraid they will judged but a therapist should have a better approach.
