Hi!
My name is Jamell Jacobs. I am a licensed professional counselor and nationally certified counselor. I am passionate about helping people become their best version of themselves in life. My belief is that reaching our fullest potential is a process that we work at daily, and I enjoy being a supportive partner in my clients' journey. My clinical experience has primarily been focused on individuals and families struggling with anxiety, anger management, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, occupational stress, parenting, relationship problems, and addiction recovery. I use a holistic approach focusing on developing a healthy mind, body, and spirit, using primarily cognitive-behavioral therapeutic techniques.
I look forward to working with you in your journey to achieving your goals and a better quality of life!

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.

the absolute BEST!!!!
Always a professional, but Jamell is just a wonderfully human professional. I enjoy our sessions, and believe she invests herself fully into her patients
My therapist, Jamell, is someone I look forward to talking with because she is relatable, down to earth, has a sense of humor, and knows how to break things down to make me think about them. She always ends our sessions with a good pep talk and I gain something every time. She is wonderful!
Jamell is quick to notice behavioral patterns, and after 6 months she has started to anticipate roadblocks in my mental health or thought processes that may get in the way of my success to help me prepare for them. This is hugely helpful; I look forward to our appointments because I know I will leave our sessions with a sense of purpose and direction.
Jamell has been a saving grace in my personal journey. I came to BetterHelp with past family trauma, single motherhood, and the desire to work on my tendency to people please. Jamell listens diligently with empathy and compassion, provides validation as well as helping to build tools and mindsets to overcome obstacles, and encourages me to look further inward and reflect on myself. She is extremely supportive while also challenging me to be the best version of myself. I consider myself lucky to have her as a counselor, and am thankful for all the guidance she has provided.
Jamell has been wonderful. She actively listens and provides a clear path for me to reach therapy goals. Very understanding, patient and responsive!
