Janeka Collins is an amazing counselor. She is very respectful, reassuring and has a sense of humour to lighten up the mood. Her style is very gentle and she allows you to speak freely before giving any inputs. She provides ample strategies and information to help guide you in whatever your session needs are. I would definitely recommend her first to anyone.

Ms.Collins was the best fit for me . I’m used to counselors being old and boring and just listening or not being able to relate to me . In a way she makes me feel like she is my friend she is easy to open up to and she doesn’t judge but she does assess and correct . I love my sessions . Highly recommended.

More about Janeka

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have over 11 years of experience in psychotherapy. I have experience in clinical therapy and supervision. I take pride in helping clients reach their fullest potential and conquer obstacles and hurdles along the way. I have experience in working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and much more.

My counseling style is warm and inviting. I believe in the importance of treating each and every person with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and passing judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and psychodynamic counseling. My plan is to tailor our conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

The first step in therapy is acknowledging a problem or concern and wanting to become better with professional guidance and support. If you are ready to take that step then I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Janeka has been a life changer for me. It’s been so nice to be able to communicate and have therapy sessions video chat & message whenever I need to. She truly listened to my problems and helped me find solutions, she always had the best advice, and solutions to my problems. She really listened to me and remembered details from our previous conversations which made me feel so good that she genuinely cares about me & my life. I will definitely be recommending BetterHelp & especially Janeka!

Janeka is absolutely incredible. I started working with her at a very turbulent time in my life when I really needed someone who would listen to me and give solid advice, but would also let me figure things out and feel like I was making my own decisions. I never felt pressured to do something I wasn't comfortable with. Janeka is very responsive via messages and regularly sent over articles for me to read. She is warm and friendly over calls and always made me feel important. My life is so much better thanks to her support! Highly recommend.

Janeka has been my therapist for the last 3 months and she has been amazing! Very attentive and friendly, very easy to talk to her about difficult topics. The time during the sessions flies by as the conversation flows. She managed to reassure me that my life is going to improve also sharing some techniques and tools to do it, and I see the results already. I'd definitely recommend Janeka as your future therapist.

Janeka was a great therapist and truly cares about her patients. She felt like a second mom to me and I’ll have her on my mind as I study psychology in college. She helped me through so much such as my anxiety and stress from work and school. She taught me how to balance everything and even helped me with weight loss tips. Janeka is definitely the therapist for you, she checks up on you almost daily and leaves the session with you feeling better!

Reviewed September 2020

Janeka is an amazing therapist. She shoots straight and has a no-nonsense approach. She is also very gentle with me and gives me a lot of space to come to therapy on my own terms. She has a relaxed approach that feels more like talking to a friend who seriously knows her business, rather than a therapist with lots of clients to serve. Janeka’s style reminds me of why I wanted to come to therapy in the first place, true unbiased, careful listening, in a space that pushes me to think and feel and unpack.

Janeka and I have been working together for about three weeks now. She is always there and quick to respond. I can always rely on her advice in any situation I might be in. She listens to everything you have to say and helps you find different coping mechanisms that work for YOU. That's so important and I can't emphasize on that enough. I love working with her and I appreciate her professionalism. I highly, highly recommend her.
